Imagine-Moi (Adapted from: I Wonder (Departure) - 1977) Composer(s): Stig Erik Leopold Anderson; Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus; Alain Albert Boublil; Daniel Aaron Boublil Performer(s): Fabienne Thibeault - 1983
Miroir, tu est cruel Hier soir j'étais belle Et ce matin Je ne suis rien Qu'une créature étrange
Miroir, à quoi tu sers? Tu n'es pas sincère Tu fais de moi Ce que je vois Ou un démon ou un ange
Imagine-moi plus loin Avec les rides que fait le vie en chemin Imagine-moi plus tard Et fais-moi voir si j'attire un regard
Je manque de courage J'ai peur de savoir Est-ce que mon image Sera encore mon amie
Plus tard
Miroir, tu sais mentir C'est ça qui m'attire Je cherche en toi Une autre moi Mon idéal ou le pire
Imagine-moi plus loin Avec les rides que fait le vie en chemin Imagine-moi plus tard Et fais-moi voir si j'attire un regard
New York City ist die heißeste Stadt Wenn man einen neuen Boyfriend und ein Hotelzimmer hat New York City ist mein Lieblingsplatz Weil die Leute, die ich da kenne die sind ein wahrer Schatz Es ist immer tiefste Nacht wenn wir durch die Clubs ziehen Und es kommt mir vor, als wäre ich die Nightclub-Queen Das ist die reine Wahrheit, und ich schwöre siebenfach New York, ich will ein Penthouse, direkt unterm Dach Und nach meiner Show, da bin ich immer so froh Und alle gehen wir in die Disco Eine Disco nach der anderen Disco Und wackeln im Takt zum Rap Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut nacht! Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut nacht! New York, New York
New York City ist die heißeste Stadt Wenn man einen neuen Boyfriend und ein Hotelzimmer hat New York City ist ein Ding für sich Und ganz auch freilich ganz bestimmt ein Ding für mich Ich glaube, ich schenke dir mein Herz Ich liebe dich gar sehr Ich kann gar nicht mehr ohne dich Ich liebe dich immer mehr Genauso liebe ich auch Berlin, und Amsterdam, und Hollywood Und Eifersucht das ist eine Krankheit Ich liebe alle Alles Gute!
Und nach meiner Show, da bin ich immer so froh Und alle gehen wir in die Disco Eine Disco nach der anderen Disco Und wackeln im Takt zum Rap Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut nacht! Der neueste Nightclub macht auf heut nacht! New York, New York
Imagine The Swan Composer(s): Rod Argent; Chris White Performer(s): The Zombies
Well I have a picture in color of you And it's there in my room to remind me of you So it was with surprise that I saw you today And I did not recognize you, girl, what more can I say?
For the colors are gone You've become kind of gray And you're not like the swan That I knew yesterday...
Now the pictures are wrong You've become kind of gray I imagine the swan That you were yesterday...
The sadness that I felt was hard on my eyes And the truth on my face was hard to disguse So I let you walk by I turned out of your way And I tried to close my eyes And let the sadness fall away...
For the colors are gone You've become kind of gray And you're not like the swan That I knew yesterday...
Now the pictures are wrong You've become kind of gray I imagine the swan That you were yesterday...
Imagine Me, Imagine You Composer(s): Kenny Young Performer(s): Fox
Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang
Heavenly eyes come see the moon I think it's shinin' Or would you rather be up in my room For wine and dinin' Imagine me, imagine you Inside each others mind what would we do?
Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang
Following lines around your palm Your heart is huntin' Don't you look any further It's mine your wantin' Imagine me, imagine you Inside each others eyes what would we see? Imagine me, imagine you Inside each others arms what would we do?
Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang Doo lang doo da lang a lang doo lang
'N Andere Wereld Composer(s): A. Badalamenti; M. Faithfull; Benny Neijman Performer(s): Benny Neijman
Hij leeft zijn leven alleen in een andere wereld Geen enkele wereld is mooier dan deze van hem Hij leeft in zichzelf gekeerd met z'n eigen gedachten En al wat ie hoort dringt toch niet door tot hem Ze hebben het vaak geprobeerd, hij is niet te bereiken Hij hoort wel de klank van hun stem maar kijkt dwars door ze heen Leeft in zijn eigen wereld, leeft in zichzelf alleen Maar als ie lacht, lacht ie naar iedereen
Hij ziet de dingen gewoon in heel andere kleuren Hij vindt het mooi, 't is heel gewoon voor hem Hij heeft genoeg aan zichzelf dus geen plaats voor een ander Z'n woede, geluk of verdriet, hij verwerkt het alleen Leeft in zijn eigen wereld, leeft in zichzelf alleen Maar als ie lacht, lacht ie naar iedereen
Imagine Me In The Maginot Line Composer(s): George Gifford; Cliffe; George Formby Performer(s): George Formby
You should see me out in France wearing my tin hat With shot and shell it's worse than well it's even worse than that Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine French girls make a fuss of me I'm not French as you can see But I know what they mean when they say "oui, oui" Down on the Maginot Line
Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine The enemy we had to chase But my gun got out of place I went and shot the Colonel in the base Down on the Maginot Line
Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine At night, myself to sleep I sing To my old tin hat I cling I have to use it now for everything Down on the Maginot Line
Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine Suddenly a pain I felt A doctor on my tummy knelt He slapped a poultice underneath my belt Right on the Maginot Line
Now imagine me in the Maginot Line Sitting on a mine in the Maginot Line Now it's turned out nice again The Army life is fine Hitler can't kid us a lot His secret weapon's tommyrot But you ought to see what the sergeant's got Down on the Maginot Line Down on the Maginot Line

Pardon me, if I'm sentimental When we say goodbye Don't be angry with me should I cry When you're gone, yet I'll dream A little dream as years go by Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you You taught me how to love and now You say that we are through I'm a fool, but I'll love you dear Until the day I die Now and then there's a fool such as I

An Old-Fashioned Christmas
Composer(s): John Rimel
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers
These city streets seem cold and hard to me Life here in the fast lane ain't my cup of tea I can't get in the spirit here it seems And when I go to sleep at night I often have this dream
Of an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree A fire softly burning and you up close to me With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year
The city lights are fading out of sight The snow is softly falling through the winter night Coming home again feels so good And once again Christmas feels just like it should
Let's have an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree A fire softly burning and you up close to me With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year
Let's have an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year

imaginate que te quiero sigue imaginandote te quiero
An Old Christmas Card Composer(s): Vaughn Horton Performer(s): Jim Reeves; and various other artists
There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me 'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree
I thrill with every word, every line Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card
You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental about this time, every year But every time I see a Christmas card, I somehow can't help reminiscing About the very first Christmas that you and I spent together What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that year Why, I know you must have looked through thousands of cards to find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eyes
I thrill with every word, every line Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card

All you that are to mirth inclin'd
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us hath done
In sending his beloved Son.
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Let all your songs and praises be
Unto his Heavenly Majesty
And evermore among your mirth
Remember Christ our Saviour's birth
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
The five and twentieth of December
Good cause have you for to remember
In Bethlehem upon this morn
There was our blessed Saviour born
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
The night before that happy tide
The spotless Virgin, and her guide
Went long time seeking up and down
To find them lodging in the town
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
And mark how all things came to pass
The inns and lodging so filled was
That they could have no room at all
but in a silly oxes stall
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
That night the Virgin Mary mild
Was safe delivered of a Child
According unto Heaven's decree
Man's sweet salvation for to be
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Near Bethlehem did Shepherds keep
Their herds and flocks, and feeding sheep
To whom God's Angels did appear
Which put the Shepherds in great fear
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Prepare and go, the Angel said
To Bethlehem, be not afraid
There shall you see this blessed morn
The princely babe, sweet Jesus, born
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
With thankful hearts and joyful mind
The Shepherds went this babe to find
And as the heavenly Angel told
They did our Saviour Christ to behold
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Within a manger was he laid
The Virgin Mary by him stay'd
Attending on the Lord of life
Being both mother, maid, and wife
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Three Eastern Wise men from afar
Directed by a glorious Star
Came boldly on, and made no stay
Until they came where Jesus lay
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
And being come unto the place
Wherein the blest Messias was
They humbly laid before his feet
Their gifts of gold and odours sweet
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
See how the Lord of Heaven and Earth
Shew'd himself lowly in his birth
A sweet example for mankind
To learn to bear an humble mind
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
No costly robes or rich attire
Did Jesus Christ our Lord desire
No musick nor sweet harmony
Till glorious Angels came from high
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
If choirs of Angels did rejoice
Well may mankind with heart and voice
Sing praises to the God of Heaven
That unto us his Son is given
And to redeem our souls from thrall
He is the Saviour of us all
Toen Jij Verdween (Adapted from: In Dreams - 1963) Composer(s): Roy Orbison; Jan De Vuyst Performer(s): Doran - 1998
'k Voel me opgesloten, 'k kan niet slapen De warmte in de kamer zo benauwd Het zingen van de zee drijft mij naar buiten Haar geruis is voor mij zo vertrouwd
Ik zie jou weer Ja, elke keer Als ik mijn ogen sluit Dan hoor ik weer
Jouw zachte stem Die mij verwendt Jouw lieve woordjes als Ik hoor bij jou
Ik droom alleen van jou Jouw wil vult mij geheel Want jij gaf mij al wat ik wou Ik leef, nee ik leefde voor jou, voor jou
Die dag toen jij verdween Ik vergeet die dag nooit meer Toen je wegging en ik doodging Toen je zei 'ik wil weggaan, laat me weggaan, vaarwel'
En ik schreeuwde 'blijf bij mij' Want ik begeer jou voor mij Oh, blijf bij mij Mijn leven ben jij
