I'm Feeling You Composer(s): Michelle Branch; Kara DioGuardi; John Shanks Performer(s): Santana; The Wreckers
Sometimes, I imagine the world without you But most times, Im just so happy that I ever found you Its a complicated web, that you weave inside my head So much pleasure with such pain How we always, always stay the same
Im feelin the way you cross my mind And you save me in the nick of time Im ridin the highs, Im diggin the lows Cause at least I feel alive Ive never faced so many emotional days But my life is good Im feelin you Im feelin you
You go, and then I can finally breathe in Cause baby I know, in the end youre never leavin Well were rarely ever sane, I drive you crazy and you do the same But your fire fills my soul And it wounds me up like no one knows
'Cause Im feelin the way you cross my mind And you save me in the nick of time Im ridin the highs, Im diggin the lows Cause at least I feel alive Ive never faced so many emotional days But my life is good Im feelin you Im feelin you
Im feelin the way you cross my mind And you save me in the nick of time Im ridin the highs, Im diggin the lows Cause at least I feel alive Ive never faced so many emotional days Im feelin you Im feelin you Im feelin you Im feelin you
Oh Im feelin the way that you cross my mind And the way that you save me in the nick of time Oh Im feelin the way when you walk on by I feel light, I feel love, I feel butterflies

Eva is 16 en heeft pijn een overdosis kreeg haar bijna klein een verhaal van drugs en pillen van bedrog en van ontkennen en al zou Eva het willen het lukt niet te ontwennen Want ze is en blijft een junkie 't is haar dood maar ook haar leven En niet ma, en ook niet pa die zo heel veel om haar geven maar de dealer in de straat die weet pas waar het om gaat waar de hemel zich bevind de drugs haar leven, haar vijand en haar vriend
Oordeel niet te snel het is een kind van deze tijd misschien gebeurd het morgen jou en mij geen ouder is er van bevrijd het is een kind van deze tijd
Geef hun liefde geef hun aandacht en zeg niet het niet te weten 't jou zoon, het is jou dochter maar een kind zoals zo velen want de dealer in de straat die weet pas waarom het gaat hij heeft tijd en hij heeft macht en wacht
Oordeel niet te snel het is een kind van deze tijd misschien gebeurd het morgen jou en mij geen ouder is er van bevrijd het is een kind van deze tijd
Oordeel niet te snel Oordeel niet te snel het is een kind van deze tijd
misschien gebeurd het morgen jou en mij geen ouder is er van bevrijd het is een kind van deze tijd
I'm Falling In Love With Someone Composer(s): Victor Herbert; Rida Johnson Young Performer(s): Nelson Eddy and multiple other artists
I've a very strange feeling I've ne'er felt before It's a kind of a grind of depression My heart's acting strangely, it feels rather sore At Least, it gives me that impression My pulses beat madly without any cause Believe me, I'm telling you truly I'm gay without pause, then sad without cause My spirits are truly unruly
For I'm falling in love with some one, some one girl I'm falling in love with someone head a-whirl Yes, I'm falling in love with someone plain to see I'm sure I could love someone madly If someone would only love me
Yes, I'm falling in love with someone plain to see I'm sure I could love someone madly If someone would only love me
Ik houd de wereld in mijn hand Het glazen ei vol land en wolken Ik zal de hemel gaan bevolken Ik roep de varens uit het zand Ik schud de apen uit mijn mouw De spikkelpanters en de mieren Het blauw konijn, de krabbeldieren Ik strooi topaas azuur en dauw Ik weet nu dat ik alles kan Ik ken de dieren aan hun vel De vogels aan hun notenspel En ik geef namen aan de man
De verf die ik morste vliegt plots'ling in brand 't Palet valt vlammend uit mijn hand De aarde zwaait open, ik zie haar lopen In mijn eigen groene gras Wil jij soms wit wezen, dat ik je niet ken En dat ik niet almachtig ben Jij wilt me vergeten, mijn vruchten eten En me bedriegen met je man
Hier in je lichaam van albast Zie ik de roze vlammen branden En wat je wilt valt in je handen Je hebt mijn wereld aangetast Daar sluipt de groengevlekte kat En heeft de merel al te grazen De leguaan gaat bellen blazen Kruipt op vijf poten over 't pad De vleesboom rijst het water uit En rinkelt met zijn glazen snaren Er zit in de kristalpilaren Een uil die schuine liedjes fluit
Hier sta ik voor zot in mijn kamerjapon Ik dacht wel dat ik alles kon En ben ik verdwenen, dan komt op zijn tenen De engel met het grote mes

I'm Easy Composer(s): Keith Carradine Performer(s): Keith Carradine and multiple other artists
It's not my way to love you just when no one's looking It's not my way to take your hand if I'm not sure It's not my way to let you see what's going on inside of me When it's a love you'll not be needing, you're not free Please stop pulling at my sleeve if you're just playing If you'll not take the things you make me want to give I never cared too much for games and this one's driving me insane You're not half as free to wander as you claim I'm easy, I'm easy Say the word, I'll play your game As though that's how it ought to be I'm easy Don't lead me on if there's nowhere for you to take me If loving you will have to be a sometime thing I can't put bars on my insides; my love is something I can't hide I still hurt when I recall the times I've tried I'm easy, I'm easy Take my hand and pull me down I won't put up any fight, because I'm easy Don't do me favors, let me watch you from a distance Cause when you're near, it's hard for me to keep my head When your eyes throw light at mine, it's enough to change my mind Make me leave my cautious ways and world behind I'm easy I'm easy

I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can Composer(s): Bob McDill Performer(s): Juice Newton
He said, Ive seen you before As the band broke into Misty I put one hand on the bar The whole room by then Was starting to spin
I said, youve got Hemingways eyes And that night I called him papa It seems that there are so many lovers Who hold you and yet Whose name you forget
Dance, they said Life is only for the moment The light is brief Dont waste it The taste is sweet so taste it So I said I understand Im dancing as fast as I can
Maybe were just shooting stars Needing something to hold on to But each thing we touch seems to vanish Like candles and friends They burn at both ends
Dance, they said Life is only for the moment The light is brief Dont waste it The taste is sweet so taste it So I said I understand Im dancing as fast as I can
He said Ill see you around And as I brushed my hair I winked and said, you might Cause I know by now how its done After all the mornings after And all the nights
Dance, they said Life is only for the moment The light is brief Dont waste it The taste is sweet so taste it So I said I understand Im dancing as fast as I can
Eu E Tu Composer(s): Gereba - Tuzé de Abreu
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Faz muito tempo que o nosso amor começou Daí pra cá cada vez mais ele aumentou E nunca mais a gente esteve separado E nunca mais a gente se sentiu só
Nunca mais tive que queixar da solidão Nunca mais tive medo da escuridão Porque eu tendo você a meu lado Me sentia muito forte Como lá no meu sertão
E foi assim que o sucesso lhe levou Você saiu dizendo que vinha me buscar Você esteve na tv e eu não lhe vi Será, meu Deus, que eu não lhe vejo mais aqui
Ouvindo o rádio de manhãzinha Pela janela da cozinha da vizinha A sua voz cantando o beija-flor Abri a porta da gaiola E o canário avoou
Oh oh oh Meu canarinho que beleza que avoou Oh meu amor

Être ((Italian Version: Essere (Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Être, renaître ma naissance Dans une aube de craie Sous la lune de sang Aux termes d'un hiver mourant Être, émerger du silence Voir briller au soleil Les givres de mon cur Présage d'un printemps meilleur Être le fruit et la semence Dans un sol épuisé Et fleurir en exil Comme un arbre éclaté d'avril Être, apprendre à me connaître Garder les yeux ouverts Et n'être rien qu'un être De chair
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Et au-delà peut-être Être l'âme séparée du corps Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Même au-delà encore
Être la voix de mes naufrages Le verbe retrouvé Lavé de tout défaut Êpousant le chemin des mots Être, échapper au chantage De tous les lieux communs Êteindre mes volcans Dompter et chevaucher mon temps Être le geste qui engage L'avenir repensé Artisan du retour Au simple rituel d'amour Être, mourir pour mieux renaître Des mensonges d'antan Et n'être rien qu'un être Vivant
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Et au-delà peut-être Être l'âme séparée du corps Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort Même au-delà encore
