Ethel Levey's Virginia Song (aka "Virginia" and "I Was Born In Virginia")
Composer(s): George M. Cohan
Performer(s): Ethel Levey
I was born in a Southern state Where all nature's sublime In a city where the gals are pretty And the sun shines nearly all the time Hospitality there you'll find Bright smiles ev'rywhere When I look 'roun' and see some other town I'm mighty glad I come from there
I was born in Virginia That's the state that will win yer If you've got a soul in yer Ain't no Southern frown In the city of Norfolk Home of beauties and war talk Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it That doggarn town
Something nice about Southerners You don't find ev'rywhere Never con yer, but they smile upon yer And they make you happy while you're there Old Kentucky and Tennessee They can certainly go some Travel far and wide, still I'm satisfied To settle in the state I'm from
I was born in Virginia That's the state that will win yer If you've got a soul in yer Ain't no Southern frown In the city of Norfolk Home of beauties and war talk Reckon you'll like it, if you should strike it That doggarn town

Im afraid some day youll leave me Saying cant we still be friends If you go, you know youll grieve me All in life on you depends Am I guessin that you love me Dreaming dreams of you in vain Im Confessin that I love you, over again

Eternamente Composer(s): Alberto Domínguez

Pensar que todo tengo y nada puedo yo tener la vida me da flores, el sol me da su luz Pensar que todo tengo y nada puedo yo tener porque lo tengo todo, pero me faltas tú

Tú bien sabes que los años pasarán pero nunca que yo te olvide lograrás pues tuyo será mi amor eternamente y para los dos la felicidad tendrá que brillar y para los dos la felicidad tendrá que brillar
Pues tuyo será mi amor eternamente y para los dos la felicidad tendrá que brillar y para los dos la felicidad tendrá que brillar
I'm Coming Home Again Composer(s): Bruce Roberts; Carole Bayer Sager Performer(s): Dusty Springfield and multiple other artists
I'm not as crazy as I used to be Some of my devils upped and left me free To find a quiet space I'm not as out of place
I'm not as lonely as I was before I don't go in 'less there's an open door to leave by I'm starting to believe my own existence has a right to be
And I'm comin' home again It's been too long a time Gettin' back what's mine And I can't remember why I went away But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay
The poets cried for dreams they never saw The only certainty is nothin's sure And most things stay the same Or go back where they came
And though my answers still are undefined By takin' chances I can start to find some reasons Somethin' to believe in I can make it through I can make it through
And I'm comin' home again It's been too long a time Gettin' back what's mine And I can't remember why I went away But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay
Oh, and I'm comin' home again It's been too long a time Gettin' back what's mine And I can't remember why I went away But it's lookin' now like maybe I can stay
Eternally (aka "Theme from Limelight" and "Terry's Theme")
Composer(s): Charlie Chaplin - Geoffrey Parsons
Performer(s): Sarah Vaughan
I'll be loving you eternally With a love that's true, eternally From the start, within my heart It seems I've always known The sun would shine When you were mine And mine alone I'll be loving you eternally There'll be no one new, my dear, for me Though the sky should fall Remember I shall always be Forever true and loving you Eternally
Though the sky should fall Remember I shall always be Forever true and loving you Eternally
Eternal Love Composer(s): Paul Jabara - Jay Asher
Performer(s): Paul Jabara & Whitney Houston
Something's wrong I don't understand The way I feel I don't know where I am
There's some mistake What am I doing here Away from you Where I belong
It isn't fair She's keeping us apart And in return I'm left with just my broken heart
I close my eyes I feel you close to me Back in your arms Where I belong
Eternal Love that's all that I have to give It's only for you and me You're all that I've got
Just say you love me And that no one else Can ever make you feel the same
Something's wrong I don't understand I've never felt this way For any other man
My only dream My one reality My pledge to you Eternal Love
All that I give you is All that I have Oh baby take me in your arms
Just say you love me And that no one else Can ever make you feel the same
No one loves you like I love you No one loves you like I do It's just not fair You can't keep me away Cause I won't give up I've got to get you back today
My only dream My one reality My pledge to you Eternal Love

Éteins La Lumière ((English & Spanish Versions: Let's Turn Out The Lights (Charles Aznavour); Apaga La Luz (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Éteins la lumière Viens contre mon coeur Que mes bras te serrent Prennent ta tiédeur Que la nuit entière Nous comble de joie Éteins la lumière Rampe contre moi
Éteins la lumière Tire les rideaux Coule sur la terre Faible de ma peau Deviens la rivière La source d'amour Qui me désaltère Jusqu'au petit jour A l'heure où tout sombre Et devient murmure A l'heure où les ombres Se collent au mur Dans la chambre sombre Mordons dans le fruit De ses joies sans nombres Qui vivent la nuit
Éteins la lumière Love-toi sur moi Que l'amour éclaire Nos tendres ébats Et nous pourrons faire Détachés du temps Le doux inventaire De nos sentiments
Éteins la lumière Dans l'obscurité Mes mains qui te serrent Vont remodeler Ton front, tes paupières Tes lèvres et ton cou Éteins la lumière La nuit est à nous
Éteins la lumière Couvre nos folies D'un peu de mystère D'un peu de magie Laisse tes chimères Sombrer tendrement Dans l'aimable guerre Que font les amants
A l'heure où les choses Semblent délaissées A l'heure où la rose Attend la rosée Le bonheur propose Ses rêves pour deux Et l'amour s'impose Pour les amoureux
Éteins la lumière Pour dans la grandeur Extraordinaire De notre bonheur N'être que matière N'être que pensée Éteins la lumière Viens on va s'aimer
État D'urgence Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Seul Sous un ciel minéral Seul Dans le règne animal J'peux vraiment plus choisir entre le bien, le mal Au bord du précipice je vais mal, je vais mal
Je vais mal Couché sur le côté dans un hôtel sordide Le mythe du rock'n'roll me prend comme un bolide Des guitares déchirées, vestiaire puant la sueur Poème carbonisé, un monde suant la peur, sueur la peur
J'suis en état d'urgence Seul dans la lumière blance Malgré les apparences Tu sais la différence J'suis en état d'urgence Passez le miroir Troublants de désespoir
Plus loin à quelques blocs, au fond d'un entrepôt Le grand marché aux gays, aux confins du Soho Enchaînés dans des cages et vendus chaque nuit Conduits par un nabot aux ongles noirs vernis, sans un cri
Des sexes désossés, du sang et de l'éther Hommes de cuir clouté, sur des chaînes de fer Dans le brouillard glacé, tout près de la rivière Où rôdent les truckers et leur peinture de guerre, c'est la guerre
J'suis en état d'urgence Seul dans la lumière blance Malgré les apparences Tu sais la différence J'suis en état d'urgence Passez le miroir Troublants de désespoir
Seul Jusqu'au bout de l'enfer Seul Au-dessus des cartères J'ai perdu mes racines et je cherche mes mots Broyé par la machine aux confins du Soho, de Soho, de Soho
Je vais dormir enfin dans un hôtel sordide J'ai passé la journée à choisir le calibre Mon cerveau déchiré va retrouver la peur Poème carbonisé ne permet plus d'erreur, plus d'erreur
J'suis en état d'urgence Seul dans la lumière blance Malgré les apparences Tu sais la différence J'suis en état d'urgence...
If Yesterday Could Only Be Tomorrow Composer(s): Toby Emmerich; Ruth Poll Performer(s): Nat King Cole
If yesterday could only be tomorrow And I knew then the things that I know now There'd be so much to remember And nothing to regret If I could do it all over somehow
I only wish that I had held you closer Now you seem a million miles away If yesterday could only be tomorrow And the clock had stopped just before it reached today
If yesterday could only be tomorrow And the clock had stopped just before it reached today
État D'âme Composer(s): Jean Ferrat Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
L'aube se lève grise et sale Sur la sinistre cour pavée J'entends résonner sur les dalles Les bidons tristes du laitier C'est toujours quand cinq heures sonnent Qu'on réveille les condamnés Les feuilles des arbres frissonnent Il va bien falloir y aller
Aï aï aï À l'heure où les croissants sont chauds Je n'ai pas l'âme d'un bourreau De travail
À l'idée de l'éxécuter J'ai le moral en marmelade Si le travail c'est la santé Tous mes copains en sont malades Faites-le mettre à la torture Par ceux qui en font leur régal Bien au chaud sous mes couvertures Je ne le toucherai pas d'un poil
Aï aï aï À l'heure où l'on boit l'apéro J'n'ai toujours pas l'âme d'un bourreau De travail
Si j'dois l'abattre sans pitié Avant d'abandonner mon lit J'voudrais bien voir changer la vie Dans la nouvelle société J'voudrais voir les flics au boulot Les tenants du grand capital Les P.D.G. les généraux Goûter aux cadences infernales
Aï aï aï Ce n'est sans doute pas de si tôt Que j'aurai l'âme d'un bourreau De travail
I was a fool to step aside And let you run to someone new But I won't be a fool anymore I'm coming back to you
Can't bear to think you're kissing her It tortures me the whole night through But I won't take that torture anymore I'm coming back to you I'm coming back to you
She's got no right to hold you tight Her days are over.......beginning tonight
Your lips belong to me alone No one could love you like I do And I can't live without you anymore I'm coming back to you I'm coming back to you
Et voilà qu'il parle de lui comme s'il devait plaider sa cause on dirait qu'il se justifie et moi je pense à autre chose il n'est pas tout à fait minuit je regarde brûler les bougies et voilà qu'il parle de moi et c'est du déjà entendu on est sur nos gardes je crois je ne sais pas, je suis déçue c'est tellement difficile tout ça la glace n'est pas encore rompue et voilà qu'il me parle d'elle de l'habitude et caetera... il est tard, je n'ai pas sommeil j'aimerais t'oublier une fois quelque chose siffle à mon oreille est-ce qu'aux autres tu parles de moi? Johnny Walker est dans nos verres et voudrait bien nous rapprocher Johnny Walker est dans mon verre et j'ai envie d'être embrassée...
If I Love Again Composer(s): Jack Murray; Ben Oakland Performer(s): Tony Bennett
I often wonder why he came to me Brought such a flame to me Then let it die And if another love should find my heart It will remind my heart of your goodbye With every new love You'll come back to me In other eyes it's you I see If I love again Though it's someone new If I love again It will still be you In someone else's firm embrace I close my eyes but see your face If I love again I'll find another charms But I'll make believe
You are in my arms And though my lips whisper "love me!" My heart will not be true I'll be loving you Every time I love again...
