I'm A Survivor
Composer(s): Shelby Kennedy; Philip White
Performer(s): Reba McEntire



I was born 3 months too early 
The doctor gave me 30 days 
But I must have had my mama's will 
And God's amazing grace 
I guess I'll keep on livin 
Even if this love's to die for 
Cuz your bags are packed 
And I ain't cryin 
Your walkin out and I'm not tryin 
To change your mind 
Cuz I was born to be 

The baby girl without a chance 
A victim of circumstance 
The one who oughta give up 
But she's just too hard headed 
A single mom 
Who works 2 jobs 
Who loves her kids and never stops 
With gentle hands 
And the heart of a fighter 
I'm a survivor 

I don't believe in self pity 
It only brings you down 
May be the queen of broken hearts 
But I don't hide behind the crown 
When the deck is stacked against me 
I just play a different game 
My roots are planted in the past 
And though my life is changing fast 
Who I am is who I wanna be 

The baby girl without a chance 
A victim of circumstance 
The one who oughta give up 
But she's just too hard headed 
A single mom 
Who works 2 jobs 
Who loves her kids and never stops 
With gentle hands 
And the heart of a fighter 
I'm a survivor 

Oh a single mom 
Who works 2 jobs 
Who loves her kids and never stops 
With gentle hands 
And the heart of a fighter 
I'm a survivor 

But I must have had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace
(I'm a survivor)

Enough freaky love when my love tumbles down, baby, doo-wah-wah

“Don’t you do that, don’t you do that,” that’s what I used to say

Et De L'amour... De L'amour
(Spanish Version: Y Amor, Y Amor - Dalida)
Composer(s): Serge Balasko - Daniel Faure
Performer(s): Dalida



Un chandelier sur un coin de table
Un feu de bois, deux ombres et du vent
Un homme, une femme heureux d'être ensemble
En écoutant Mozart doucement

Et de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
Et de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour

Avec des mots, des regrets, des gestes
On parle du temps et de la vie
Et de cigarettes en cigarettes
Le feu s'éteint un dernier whisky

Et de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
Et de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour

Loin de la foule et du bruit
Sur l 'écran d'une nuit
On raconte sa vie
On va jusqu'au bout
On va jusqu'au bout
D'un bon souvenu
D'un bon souvenir
On se redit vous
Avant de s'endormir

Le lendemain quand le réveil sonne
Chacun retrouve ses mots pour mentir
On note l'adresse et le téléphone
On s'quitte avec un certain sourire

Et de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
Et de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour

Un chandelier sur un coin de table
Un feu de bois, deux ombres et du vent
Toutes les femmes en elles se ressemblent
En écoutant Mozart doucement

Et de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
Et de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
Et de l'amour, de l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour
De l'amour, de l'amour

I'm A Stranger In My Home
Composer(s): Pee Wee King; Redd Stewart; Neal Burris; Red Foley
Performer(s): Kitty Wells; Red Foley



There's a stranger in my home that I've never known before
And I don't know why she's there, she just walked in through the door
Why she stays and suffers so is something I will never know
She's a lonely soul, this stranger in my home

I'm that stranger in my home, I'm the one left in the cold
I'm no longer loved or wanted, I don't have to be told
I can tell by the way that I'm treated day by day
That I am just a stranger in my home

Not so very long ago there were tender nights to live
We were happy in our home, we had all that life could give
Then one day the quarrel came, I don't know who was to blame
I only know that I'm a stranger in my home

I'm that stranger in my home, I'm the one left in the cold
I'm no longer loved or wanted, I don't have to be told
I can tell by the way that I'm treated day by day
That I am just a stranger in my home

Can a woman describe a heart that's been broken all apart
Can she face her children each day and go on the same ol' way
Can she brush aside the tears and go on and live the years a forgotten soul
Just a stranger in her own home

That I am just a stranger in my home

Et Ça Gueule Ça Madame
Composer(s): Edith Piaf - Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Edith Piaf & Jacques Pills



C'est haut comme ça...
Non ... J'exagère...
Mettons, comme ça...
Enfin ... à peu près ça!
Ça paie pas d'mine
Mais nom d'un chien!
Ça tient d'la place
Ce bout de rien...

Et ça gueule, ça, madame
On n'entend qu'elle, dans la maison
Y a pas, faut qu'elle se cherche des raisons
De ça, elle en fait tout un drame!
Et ça gueule, ça, madame
Elle me dit de toute sa hauteur 
"Faudrait pas croire que tu m'fais peur!"
Elle est crispée, elle tape du pied!
Elle sort ses griffes, elle ouvre ses yeux
Ça bouge, ça crie, c'est tout furieux
J'ai envie de la prendre dans mes bras
Et de la serrer tout contre moi ...
Mais ... ça gueule, ça, madame!
Moi, ça me fait rire, mais en dedans
D'abord, je suis un gentleman
Et c'est plus prudent!

Pour la calmer, je cherche un truc
Je me dis, voyons ...
Je vais lui donner raison!
Et je lui dis: "Eh ben! C'est moi qui ai tort!"
"Ah! tu l'avoues!" qu'elle dit
Alors ... tut-tut-tut...

Et ça re-gueule, ça, madame
Même quand tout valse dans la maison
Y a pas, faut qu'elle cherche des raisons
De ça, elle en fait tout un drame
Et ça gueule, ça, madame!
Elle m'arrive là, juste à mon cœur
Alors, des fois, pour lui faire peur
Je serre les poings, je lève la main...
Elle a regard tellement surpris
Qu'on dirait que ses yeux sont punis!
Alors, bien sûr, j'ouvre les bras
Et elle se jette tout contre moi
Et ça pleure, ça, madame
On cherche partout un grand mouchoir
Pour y cacher son désespoir
Qui fait peine à voir...
Je la console et je la mouche
Un peu après j'embrasse sa bouche
Je la reprends tout contre moi
Et je l'enferme dans mes bras...
Elle se fait petite, petite...
Mais alors, toute petite ...
Pour un peu, ça dirait "pardon"...
Oh! Mais c'est pas fier, ça, madame!
C'est tout de même une satisfaction
Lui faire admettre qu'elle a tort
Et que je suis l'plus fort...
"Jacques!!! Tu viens, oui?! ..."

I'm A Stranger Here
Composer(s): Les Emmerson
Five Man Electrical Band



Well I’m a stranger here in this place called Earth
And I was sent down here to discover the worth
Of your little blue planet third from the sun
Come on and show me what you’ve done

We’ve got the aero plane, we’ve got the automobile
We’ve got sky scrapin’ buildings made of glass and steel
We’ve got synthetic food that nearly tastes real
And a little white pill that makes you feel “Hey!”
A whole lot better when you get outta bed
You take one in the mornin’ for the long day ahead
We’ve got everything everybody needs to survive
Surely the good life has arrived

I think your atmosphere is hurting my eyes
And your concrete mountains are blacking out the skies
Now I don’t say that you’ve been telling me lies
But why do I hear those children’s cries

I’m a stranger here, I’m just looking around

I see the aero planes carrying the bombs
Why, you’ve even found people to drop them on
You know you can’t keep what you take by force
But it’s only my first impression of course

And I’m a stranger here on the planet Earth

We’ve got the rivers and the mountains and the valleys and the trees
We’ve got the birds in the sky, we’ve got the fish in the sea
We’ve got the 

Oh you crazy fools don’t you know you had it made
You were living in Paradise
But take it from one who knows
Who knows the gates of Heaven can close
I only pray that you take my advice
Because Paradise won’t come twice

Well I’m a stranger here in this place called Earth
And I was sent down here to discover the worth
Of your little blue planet third from the sun
I think I’ll go back home where I come from

Et Bâiller Et Dormir
(English Version: I'm Gonna Sleep With One Eye Open)
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jeff Davis
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour; Eddie Constantine; Annie Cordy



Certains courent après la vie
Moi la vie me court après
Bien des gens font des folies
Moi c'est folie de m'avoir fait
Je ne me fais pas de bile
Et n'occupe aucun emploi
Menant une vie facile
Je ne fais rien de mes dix doigts
Je vais pêcher dans les ruisseaux
Chasser dans les roseaux
Ou cueillir les fruits mûrs
Que m'offre la nature
On ne m'as pas mis sur terre
Pour me tuer à travailler
Mais pour vivre à ma manière
Et goûter à la liberté
Et rêver, et sourire
Et bâiller, et dormir

Je dors à même la terre
C'est plus simple et c'est plus sain
Et si je meurs solitaire
Je n'aurais pas à aller loin
Je me lave à l'eau de pluie
Et me séchant au soleil
Je rêve à ma tendre amie
Et y'a vraiment rien de pareil
Et quand presqu'à la nuit tombée
On peut se retrouver
C'est un si grand plaisir
Qu'on reste sans rien dire

En regardant la nature
On se tient tout près bien près
L'un de l'autre et je vous jure
Que l'on ne pense qu'à s'aimer
Et rêver, et sourire
Et bâiller et dormir

Je fais mon paradis sur la terre
Car la paix règne au fond de mon coeur
Et vraiment si c'était à refaire
Je saurais pour garder mon bonheur
Et rêver et sourire
Et bâiller, et dormir

I'm A Song (Sing Me)
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka



I'm a song and I've waited so long
for someone to come and sing me
I've got a rhyme that I've had for some time
But nobody wants to sing me

Let me show the world that I'm not through
Let me touch your hearts the way I used to do

Sing me, sing me
I got a song to be sung
Sing me, sing me
Roll me around on your tongue

I've got sunshine
I've got a message to shout
Sing me, sing me
Won't someone please let me out

Would I make you smile if I came back in style?
Tell me, would you wanna sing me?
Don't say I'm gone, no, I wanna live on
Somebody's got to sing me

Let me fill the air with my old song
Have I let you down? 
Tell me, where did I go wrong?

Sing me, sing me
I got a song to be sung
Sing me, sing me
Roll me around on your tongue

I've got sunshine
I've got a message to shout
Sing me, sing me
won't someone please let me out

(Repeat chorus)

Et Après
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Nous pourrions passer notre vie
À nous regarder sourire
Et après
Et après

Avec le temps qui s'étire
Nous baillons litanies
Du regret
Du regret

Pour étouffer comme un reproche
De nos pauvres cœurs qui s'accrochent
Pour demain
Pour demain

J'ai encore au fond de mes poches
Un peu d'amour qui s'effiloche
Prends ma main
Prends ma main

Aller viens qu'on se fiance
Pour la dernière fois
Pour la seule fois
Oublions nos alliances
Tournons-nous vers nos 20 ans
Ils sont la ma jolie
Encore si près de nous et pourtant

On se retrouve sans émoi
Devant l'éternel feu de bois
Satisfait
Satisfait

Et nos soirées se consument
En des cendres d'amertumes
Et on se tait
On se tait

Mais tournons vites ces pages noires
Elle n'est pas finie notre histoire
Non jamais
Non jamais

Vient dehors la nuit aide-moi
Il nous faudra beaucoup y croire
Désormais
Désormais

I'm A Mover
Composer(s): Andy Fraser; Paul Rodgers
First release by: Free - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



I was born by the river, just like this river
I've been moving ever since
Ain't got nobody to call my own
You know I've been moving since the day I was born
Life is a game just made for fun
You know I don't love nobody, I don't love no one

Yes, I'm a mover, baby

Following the footsteps; One fine day
when I asked the wise man which was the way
he said: "Follow your heart and look for yourself
and come back and tell me what you have learned"

Yes, I'm a mover, baby

Went back and told him, I found me a wife
Eleven children and a real good life
Told him of love and there's a happy home
But I need to return to that long winding road

Yes, I'm a mover, baby
Gotta move on down
Mmmmove on

Et... Et
Composer(s): Jacques Chaumelle
Performer(s): Dalida



À rouler de ville en ville
J'en arrive à rêver
D'un village tranquille
Où je pourrai me reposer

J'achèterai une maison
Avec des fleurs et du gazon
Et je pourrai y installer
Mon chien préféré

Et et..
Mon petit chat siamois
Et et...
Mon poisson chinois
Et et...
Mes deux chiens pékinois
Et et...
Et toi tout près de moi
Et toi tout près de moi

Je rêve d'une chaumière
En bordure des bois
Aux murs grimpe le lierre
Une rivière coule à deux pas

Assis sur un banc dans la cour
Je regarde passer les jours
Heureuse de voir sous le soleil
Les oiseaux du ciel

Et et...
Toutes les fleurs des champs
Et et...
Les papillons blancs
Et et...
Des poules en liberté
Et et...
Mon chien préféré
Et et et...
Mon petit chat siamois
Et et...
Mon poisson chinois...
Et et...
Mes deux chiens pékinois
Et et...
Et toi tout près de moi
Et toi tout près de moi

Ce serait en quelque sorte
Un petit paradis
Je laisserai la porte
Toujours ouverte à mes amis
Pour être heureuse je n'cherche pas
Sur cette terre d'autres joies
Que de posséder bien à moi
Un bon feu de bois

Et et...
Les disques des copains
Et et...
Du pain et du vin
Et et...
Une amitié fidèle
Et et...
Les oiseaux du ciel
Et et et...
Mon petit chat siamois
Et et...
Mon poisson chinois
Et et...
Mes deux chiens pékinois
Et et...
Et toi tout près de moi
Et toi tout près de moi
Et toi tout près de moi
Et toi tout près de moi
Et toi tout près de moi
Et toi tout près de moi...

I'm a midnight mover
All night through
I'm a midnight teaser
Real soul pleaser

Leave your love light shinin' bright
Makes me know that everything's all right

Estuve enamorado de ti
Estuve enamorado de ti
Pero ya no siento nada
Ni me inquieta tu mirada como ayer
Y pensar que un día te quise
Como a nadie yo he querido jamás
Y pensar que siempre te dije
Que por nada te podría dejar
Estuve enamorado de ti
Estuve enamorado de ti
Pero quiero ser sincero
De verdad que, que no te quiero como ayer
Y pensar que siempre te quise
Como a nadie yo he querido jamás
Y pensar que un día te dije

Estuve enamorado de ti

I'm A Man 
Composer(s): Jimmy Miller; Steve Winwood
Performer(s): Chicago



Well, my path is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin 
And I'm all hung up on music, and I always play to win
I ain't got no time for loving 'cause my time is all used up
Just sitting 'round creating all that groovy kind of stuff

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so 
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

Well, if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter showing where our minds are at
And relating to each other just how strong our will can be 
In resisting all involvement with each groovy chick we see

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so 
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

I've got to keep my image while suspended on a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom filled with people all unknown
Who imagine I'm not human and my heart is made of stone
And I've never had no problems and my toilet's trimmed with gold 

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so 
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

Estúpida Manía Circular
Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Miro en el reloj y los segundos van latiendo
en una estúpida manía circular

En el ojos sucio del espejo un rostro exhausto me consuela con un gesto familiar
Junto a tu fotografía se amontonan las colillas en el centro residual
Huele a besos todavía la almohada que dormía sueños de algodón y celofán

Leo el libro de poemas que robamos en un arrebato de infección sentimental
Una fina lluvia va rompiendo en los cristales largas lágrimas que empiezo a tutear
Los zapatos que dejaste calzan pasos en el aire que el silencio me obliga a escuchar
Viene un coche por la calle pero no lleva equipaje, tal vez sea el que venga detrás

Miro en el reloj y los segundos van latiendo en una estúpida manía circular

Muchachita de mi barrio
de la cita callejera
que ya nunca volverá
¡Melancolía del recordar!

Era en la calle maleva una flor
linda como una mañanita de sol
y yo un estudiante, soñador y amante
que no pensó que aquel romance terminaría

Ahora que anochece ya en mi corazón
vuelve el perfume de aquella ilusión
sueño con la luz de su claro mirar
ella, que aún la lloro al nombrar

I'm A Loser
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
First release by: The Beatles - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or have lost
there is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Estrada De Santana
Composer(s): Petrúcio Maia - Brandão
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Quem ouviu o passarinho cantar
Ao meio dia no silêncio de um lugar
Sozinho e sozinho esperou
Que a noite trouxesse a esperança de um sonho
E a companhia do lugar
Sabe o tamanho da estrada que há na frente
Desaparece num mato sem fim
Sem jamais entender o que alguém perdeu
E perdeu e ficou assim

Assim eu sei felicidade
Não posso te encontrar
Eu te quero, eu te espero
Mas sou eu que não posso voltar

Não não não passo a estrada velha de Santana
Não não não quero o cemitério do Alecrim
Cada braço de riacho engana
Traz na água uma cantiga assim
Quem ouviu o passarinho cantar...

Tonight Is The Night
Performer(s): Betty Wright



First of all I’d like to say good evening
And we’re so pleased that
So many of you could come out and share
In all the love and all the happiness we have in store for you
We want you to have a real good time
‘Cause that’s just what we have in mind
Is that alright with you
Now, this is a tune that I composed
And it’s called
Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman
Now I never intended recording this song
It was a personal poem
This is until the day that my producer
Happened to thumb through the pages of my notebook
He came across the words and he said
“We got to somethin’ with these words
It’s happening every day
And people wanna hear about it, Betty”
You see, it’s the story of a young girl
Making love for the very first time
Now when I finally got a melody
I took it home and I-I played it for my mother
Now I got to tell you a little bit about my mother
You see I come from one of those pretty large families
And I’m the baby of the family
And you know you never grow up to your mother
I’ll never forget the way she looked at me when I played it for her
She said, “Uh, I like the music
You know, baby, the melody it’s really nice
But I know you’re not gonna sing that song”
But we eased it right on by, yes, we did
And it became one of my biggest records too
So I want you to do this for me if you will
Everybody think back to your very first time
Now I’ll give you a little while longer
‘Cause I know some of you
Have to think back a little further than others
Come on now, I want you to play catch-up
‘Cause I don’t want you waitin’ till I get to the end of my song
Sayin’, “Oh, yeah, now I remember”
Now whether it was good
Or you just smilin’ it was good
Or on the other hand if it was not so good
Here’s my story

Hmm... hmm... mmm... mmm...

Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm...
You said you’ll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, mmm... mmm...

I’m nervous and I’m tremblin’
Waitin’ for you to walk in
I’m tryin’ hard to relax
But I just can’t keep still, no

I can hear your car door slammin’
I wanna play big girl and put on a sexy smile
But I know so little about what love is
I just can’t help actin’ like a child

You’re knockin’ on my door and you’re ringin’ my bell
Hope you’re not impatient after waiting so very long
A whole year I put you off with my silly hang-ups
And we’re both old enough to know right from wrong

Tonight is the night
That you make me a woman, mmm...
You said you’ll be gentle with me
And I-I hope you will, hmm... mmm...
I’m nervous and I’m tremblin’
Waitin’ for you to walk in
Tryin’ hard to relax
But I just can’t keep still

Mmm... hey, baby
Ho, ho, baby
Ho... yeah... yeah...

Oh, but what if my mama should come home early
And catch us doin’ what we’re doin’
Not only will I never live it down
But my whole family relationship it’ll all be ruined
But we’ve gone a little bit too far now
Oh, to turn around
So let’s just pray
That true love is what we’ve found

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

Ho, I’ll never forget tonight
No, no, I’ll never forget tonight
That’s when you make me feel real, mmm... hmm...
You make me feel real, real good
Oh... oh... whoa... oh... oh... whoa... whoa...
Yeah, and I wanna thank your love
Said I’ve got to thank your love
‘Cause you make me feel good
And I love you, baby
I love you and I know it
And I ain’t too proud to show it
‘Cause I love you, baby
And I need you, baby
I want you, my love, my love
My, my, my baby
I’ll never forget tonight
No, I’ll never forget tonight
‘Cause you make me feel good
And I love you, baby
You make me feel real good
And I love you, baby
‘Cause you gave me
Uh, uh, pure love, yeah
Uh, uh, uh, pure love
Said I like that, baby
Uh, uh, pure love
Said I need that, sugar
Uh-uh-uh, pure love
There’s nothin’ phony about it
Uh-uh, pure love

Your love I can’t do without it
Uh-uh-uh, pure love, ooh

I love him, I know it
I ain’t too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
I ain’t too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
I ain’t too proud to show it
I love him, I know it
And I ain’t too proud to show it

Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Mmm... mmm... mmm...

Thank you
Thank you
