I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen
(Traditional)
First release by: Will Oakland - 1912
Covered by multiple other artists



I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my bonnie bride
The roses all have left your cheek
I've watched them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when e'er you speak
And tears bedim your loving eyes

Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'II take you to your home again!

I know you love me, Kathleen, dear
Your heart was ever fond and true
I always feel when you are near
That life holds nothing dear, but you
The smiles that once you gave to me
I scarcely ever see them now
Though many, many times I see
A dark'ning shadow on your brow

Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'II take you to your home again!

To that dear home beyond the sea
My Kathleen shall again return
And when thy old friends welcome thee
Thy loving heart will cease to yearn
Where laughs the little silver stream
Beside your mother's humble cot
And brightest rays of sunshine gleam
There all your grief will be forgot

Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'II take you to your home again!

Ma môme, ma p'tite gosse
On va fair' la noce
J' t'emmèn' en carrosse
Jusqu'à Robinson
Vas-y, fais-toi belle
Sors tes ribambelles
De blanches dentelles
En point d'Alençon

{Refrain:}
Le soleil se bag'naude
Y a des valses qui rôdent
Sur des airs d'amoureux
Y a ton cœur qui bavarde
J'lui paierai un'cocarde
En passant par Neu-Neu

Ma gosse, ma p'tite môme
Y a des prés qui chôment
Des lits qui embaument
Pour y faire l'amour
T'as la peau si douce
Qu'un' fois sur la mousse
T'as l'air d'être en douce
Cousue dans du v'lours

{au Refrain}

Ma gosse, ma p'tite reine
Le printemps s'amène
Prends-en pour la s'maine
À t'en faire rêver
Me v'là comm' Verlaine
J'ai l'cœur plein d'poèmes
Et tell'ment que je t'aime
J'ai envie de pleurer

{au Refrain}

Le soleil se bag'naude
Y a des valses qui rôdent
Sur des airs d'amoureux
J'en ai le cœur qui chavire
On n'a plus rien à s'dire
Viens, on va être heureux .....

Everybody knows you came with him but another girl caught his eye-ee-eye (I'll take you home)
Now you're sitting there all alone watching them dance by (I'll take you home)
And I know you're wondering what you'll do if he doesn't come back to you
But, don't worry, I'll take you home so, little girl, don't you be blue

Now I know that you wore that pretty red dress just for him to see (I'll take you home)
Mm-mm-yeah
But I wanna tell ya that red dress looks good to me (I'll take you home)
Whoa, I know you feel like you wanna die but try pretending that I'm your guy
And don't worry, I'll take you home so, little girl, now don't you cry

I'll take you home when the dance is over
I'll take you home, just wait and see
You're gonna dance the last dance with me

Let me tell you now

I know the way that you feel, I can understand (I'll take you home)
Mm-mm-mm
'cause I had a date just like you when the dance began (I'll take you home)
But the girl I came with just wasn't true, she's the girl who took him from you
So you see now, I'll take you home 'cause little girl, I'm lonely, too

Ohhhhhhh, let me tell you now

I know the way that you feel, I can understand (I'll take you home)
Mm-mm-mm
'cause I had a date just like you when the dance began (I'll take you home)
But the girl I came with just wasn't true, she's the girl who took him from you
So you see now, I'll take you home 'cause, little girl, I'm lonely, too

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ma môme
ell' joue pas les starlettes
Ell' met pas des lunettes  
De soleil
Ell' pos' pas pour les magazines 
Ell' travaille en usine
À Créteil

Dans une banlieue surpeuplée   
On habite un meublé
Elle et moi
La fenêtre n'a qu'un carreau
Qui donne sur l'entrepôt
Et les toits

On va pas à Saint-Paul-de-Vence
On pass' tout's nos vacances
À Saint-Ouen
Comme famille on n'a qu'une marraine
Quelque part en Lorraine
Et c'est loin

Mais ma môme elle a vingt-cinq berges
Et j'crois bien qu'la Saint'Vierge
Des églises
N'a pas plus d'amour dans les yeux
Et ne sourit pas mieux
Quoi qu'on dise

L'été quand la vill' s'ensommeille
Chez nous y'a du soleil
Qui s'attarde
Je pose ma tête sur ses reins
Je prends douc'ment sa main
Et j'la garde

On s'dit toutes les choses qui nous viennent
C'est beau comm' du Verlaine
On dirait
On regarde tomber le jour
Et puis on fait l'amour
En secret

Ma môme, ell' joue pas les starlettes
Ell' met pas des lunettes
De soleil
Ell' pos' pas pour les magazines
Ell' travaille en usine
À Créteil

I'll Take Love
Composer(s): Dolores Fuller; Mark Barkan
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Some people think that pot of gold
Is all they ever want to hold
But there's a treasure I think more of
Measure for measure, I'll take love

Some people think that their success
Is all they need for happiness
But there's a pleasure I think more of
Measure for measure, I'll take love

Pound for pound, oh yeah, and ounce for ounce
Love is all that really counts

So let them have their wealth and fame
Eat caviar and drink champagne
You're all the treasure I'm dreaming of
Measure for measure, I'll take love

Pound for pound, oh yeah, and ounce for ounce
Love is all that really counts

So let them have their wealth and fame
Eat caviar and drink champagne
You're all the treasure I'm dreaming of
Measure for measure, I'll take love
I'll take love
I'll take love
I'll take love
I'll take love

Ma Mie
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour


Tu es la vague, tu es la mer
Tu es l'orage et les éclairs
Tu es le monde et l'univers
Ma mie

Tu es la terre et la moisson
Tu es le lacs, tu es les monts
Tu es le ciel et l'horizon
Ma mie

Tu es, tu es au fond de moi
Tout ce qui pleure et ce qui rit
Tout ce qui meurt et ce qui vit
Tout ce qui reste et qui s'en va
Tu es la pierre et le sable fin
Tu es la fleur et le parfum
Tu es le débout et la fin
Ma mie

Tu es calme, tu es le vent
Tu es l'infini et le temps
Tu es l'hiver et le printemps
Ma mie

Tu es la branche, tu es le fruit
Tu es le jour, tu es la nuit
Tu es le soleil et la pluie
Ma mie

Mais lorsque tu pars, mon amour
Tout devient mort, je deviens seul
Se tend de noir et prend le deuil
Et en attendant ton retour
Je suis la cendre, le feu et le bois
Je suis le chaud, je suis le froid
Je suis le Christ, je suis la croix
Ma mie

I'll Take Care Of Your Cares
Composer(s): Mort Dixon; James V. Monaco
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



I'll take care of your cares for you
And I'll be there with you when you're blue
Let me be your one ray of sunshine
And maybe you'll remember somewhere, sometime

I won't scold you for your mistakes
And I'll just hold you when your heart aches
So keep me in your thoughts, your dreams, and your prayers
And I'll take care of your cares

(I'll take care of your cares for you)
(I'll be there with you when you're blue)
Mmm, just let me be your one ray of sweet old sunshine
'cause maybe you'll remember somewhere, sometime

'n' I won't scold you for your mistakes
'n' I'll just hold you when your heart aches
So please keep me in your thoughts, your dreams, and your prayers
And I'll take care of your cares
Yes, I'll take good care of your cares

Ma Mère Me Disait
Composer(s): Mya Simille;
Michel Delancray; Eric Charden
Performer(s): Dalida


Ma mère me disait
Si mes cheveux sont blonds
Et sur mon front
Tu vois marqué le temps
Tu m'as donné ces rides mon enfant

Ma mère me disait
Mes yeux se font plus gris
À chaque nuit où je n'ai pas dormi
J'ai tant veillé quand vous étiez petits

La, la, la ...

Ma mère me disait
Tu crois cueillir la fleur d'éternité
Mais dans ta main elle meurt
Et tant de choses sont mortes dans mon cœur

Ma mère me disait
Te restera l'amour
Il faut donner sans attendre en retour
Tout ton amour tu l'apprendras un jour

J'ai vu ce matin en m'éveillant
Mon premier cheveu blanc

La, la, la ...

Composer(s): Riley King; Sam Ling

You say you're leaving, you've shattered my dreams
All of our plans dear, forgotten it seems
Yes, it had to happen
I'm not surprised, but I'll, I'll survive

Your friends have shown you a much better way
All of my loving you baby, all of those years, ended today
Yes, you go on darlin'
I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive

Go on! May God bless you
It was fun 
While it was fun
Baby, I hate to lose you
I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done

Hey! you go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame
All your good luck or bad luck
Your friends must take the blame
Oh! I can't beg you no more baby
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive

Oh, go on! May God bless you
Oh, it was fun 
While it was fun
Oh baby, I hate to lose you

Oh! I'll, I'll survive
Baby, I'll survive

Ma Mémoire
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour


Dans mes moments de vraie
Solitude
Quand mon passé secret
Se dénude
Ma mémoire
Vient enneiger mes sommets verts

Lorsque mes clairs-obscurs
Agonisent
Que mes eaux noires et pures
Se précisent
Ma mémoire
Me lit à coeur ouvert

Et je vis une vie
Parallèle
Qui m'appelle
Qui m'étreint

Je la souffre, la crie
Je la lutte
La réfute
Mais en vain

Insensible au remords
Que je forge
Elle se plante encore
En ma gorge
Ma mémoire
Parle et parle trop fort

Éclairant d'un faux jour
Illusoire
Ce qui teintait d'amour
Notre histoire
Ma mémoire
Me fait traverser mes enfers

Enfer ou paradis
Que résume
Un corps nu dans un lit
Qui s'embrume
Ma mémoire
Me caresse et me perd

Et quand je cherche un biais
Pour que passent
Mes angoisses
Mon cafard

Face au miroir abstrait
De mes rêves
Elle crève
Mes espoirs

Tandis que mon passé
Se lézarde
Elle entre en mon coeur et
Le poignarde
Ma mémoire
Et j'en vis, et j'en meurs

I'll Supply The Love
Composer(s): David Paich
Performer(s): Toto



You supply the night
baby, I'll supply the love
You supply the night 
baby, I'll supply the love

I see a horseman in the sky
it makes me turn and wonder why
I hear the same old fourteen reasons
must be the changin' of the seasons

You supply the night
baby, I'll supply the love
You supply the night
baby, I'll supply the love

I met the girl across the sea
she saved my life and came with me
A tender night of dark persuasion
could be my first and last occasion

You supply the night
baby, I'll supply the love
You supply the night
baby, I'll supply the love

You supply the night
baby, I'll supply the love
You supply the night
baby, I'll supply the love

You supply the night
baby, I'll supply the love
You supply the night 
baby, I'll supply the love

Baby, I'll supply the love
baby, I'll supply the
I'll supply the love

Ma Mélo Mélodie
Composer(s): Jean Kluger;
Chris Michaelessi; Daniel Vangarde
Performer(s): Dalida


L'amour est un refrain
Qui va qui revient
Il nous attend au tournant d'un chemin
Il nous prend par le cœur
Le temps du bonheur
Puis un matin, il s'en va

Ma mélo mélodie chante, chante la vie
Un jour bleu, un jour gris
Et le temps qui s'enfuit
Ma mélo mélodie on te chante, on t'oublie
Mais tu reviens toujours
Comme une chanson d'amour

On prend un train à deux
On est si heureux
À l'arrivée on est seul sur le quai
On pleure et puis on dit
Déjà c'est fini
Quelque part le soleil brille

Ma mélo mélodie chante, chante la vie
Un jour bleu, un jour gris
Et le temps qui s'enfuit
Ma mélo mélodie on te chante, on t'oublie
Mais tu reviens toujours
Comme une chanson d'amour

Je t'aime, tu m'aimes, on s'aime
C'est tout un poème
Amour toujours nous deux
Oui c'est merveilleux
Même d'y croire un instant

Ma mélo mélodie chante, chante la vie
Un jour bleu, un jour gris
Et le temps qui s'enfuit
Ma mélo mélodie on te chante, on t'oublie
Mais tu reviens toujours
Comme une chanson d'amour
Ma mélo mélodie chante, chante la vie
Un jour bleu, un jour gris
Ma mélo mélodie
Ma mélo mélodie chante, chante la vie
Un jour bleu, un jour gris
Ma mélo mélodie ...

I'll String Along With You
Composer(s): Al Dubin; Harry Warren
First performance: Dick Powell - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists



You may not be an angel
'Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you

I'm looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you

For every little fault that you have
Say I have three or four
The human little fault that you do have
Just make me love you more

You may not be angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until that day that one comes along
I'll string along with you

For every little fault that you have
Say I have three or four
The human little fault that you do have
Just make me love you more

You may not be angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until that day that one comes along
I'll string along with you

Ma Main A Besoin De Ta Main
Composer(s):
Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour


Ma main a besoin de ta main
Pour parcourir la vie
Et flâner en chemin
Mes yeux ont besoin de tes yeux
Pour fouiller l'horizon
D'un amour sans limite
Mon cœur a besoin de ton cœur
Pour rythmer l'harmonie
De l'élan de nos cœurs
Ma voix a besoin d'un écho
Et l'écho c'est ta voix
Qui s'unit à ma voix
Ma main a besoin de ta main
Pour faire le parcours
Qui conduit à l'amour

Tu sens l'soleil en plein hiver
C'est merveilleux quand on y pense
Et dans tes yeux, tes yeux si clairs
J'ai découvert ma ligne de chance
Dis-moi que tu m'aimeras toujours
Dis-le puisque tu n'en sais rien
Et dépensons tout notre amour
Même si nous sommes ruinés demain

Ma main a besoin de ta main
Pour parcourir la vie
Et flâner en chemin
Mes yeux ont besoin de tes yeux
Pour fouiller l'horizon
D'un amour sans limite
Mon cœur a besoin de ton cœur
Pour rythmer l'harmonie
De l'élan de nos cœurs
Ma voix a besoin d'un écho
Et l'écho c'est ta voix
Qui s'unit à ma voix
Ma main a besoin de ta main
Pour faire le parcours
Qui conduit à l'amour

Years Have Gone Since We Were Childhood Sweethearts
Blissful Days I Shall Never Forget
And I Love You Still, My Little Darlin'
Though The Years Bring Me Only Regret

For Many, Many Years I Have Loved You
And I've Waited, But Only In Vain
Now I Know I Have Lost You, My Darlin'
But I Still Sing The Same Old Refrain

For I Love You, My Darling, I Love You
If I Talk, Will You Try To Understand?
Makes No Difference How You Treat Me, I Love You
and I'll Still Write Your Name In The Sand

Now I Know That Your Heart Was For Another
And It Grieves Me More Than I Can Stand
Though I've Lost The Only One That I Care For
I'll Still Write Your Name In The Sand

For I Love You, My Darling, I Love You
If I Talk, Will You Try To Understand?
Makes No Difference How You Treat Me, I Love You
and I'll Still Write Your Name In The Sand

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
you don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So, if you're mad get mad
don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
And hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
But I'm alot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if your wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour
and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you baby
you're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you

won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you

Oh ma che male c'è
Vivere per te
E poi mandarti via
Si ... la vita è quel che è
La prenderò com'è
Solo un po' di nostalgia
E allora chiudo gli occhi e sto cadendo giù
Tu non sei qui con me
Io che volevo te
Non ti voglio più
Non ti voglio più
Sveglierò le mie notti ... non ti sogno più
So che poi soffrirò
Mi faccio male un pò
Ma un pò mi sento vivere
Si per tutto ciò che adesso non mi dai
Che non mi hai dato mai
Per questa vita che non hai
E allora apro gli ochi e non mi importa più
Di quello che non ho ... che non mi hai dato tu
E il cielo è blu il cielo è blu
Soprattutto se sbagli
Il cielo è blu sopra tutte le mie paure
Sopra il mondo e le disavventure
Il cielo è blu
E c'è ... e c'è il sole acceso su di me
La notte se ne va e sopra la città
Il cielo è blu ... il cielo è blu
Soprattutti I ricordi
Il cielo è blu ... soprattutte le mie paure
Negli amori nascosti ... il cielo è blu

Ma Liberté, Mon Infidèle
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo


Ma liberté, mon infidèle
Elle n'aime pas qu'on parle d'elle
Elle m'en voudrait si elle savait
Que je la garde entre guillemets
Dans les couplets d'une ritournelle

Elle m'est étrangère mais je la connais
Moi qui vis au gré de ses caprices
Et comme je sais qu'elle ne ment jamais
Parfois je la cache comme une cicatrice

Alors elle fuit, elle se rebelle
Ma liberté, mon infidèle
C'est alors qu'elle est la plus belle
Elle met sa robe de soleil
Va faire un tour chez les oiseaux
Je la maudis je crie des mots qui sonnent faux
Elle me revient et tout est beau

Elle est si étrange que je ne peux
Ni la partager ni la garder pour moi
Comme un rêve fou qui brille au fond des yeux
Elle se dérobe mille et mille fois
Elle ne m'appartient pas
Elle est cruelle
Ma liberté, mon infidèle
Se rit de moi et me rappelle
Que j'aurais beau tendre les bras
Elle s'en ira quand elle voudra
Et ce jour-là elle emportera tout de moi
Et ne me laissera rien d'elle

Ma liberté, mon infidèle
