Immortality Composer(s): Barry Gibb; Robin Gibb; Maurice Gibb Performer(s): Bee Gees and multiple other artists
So this is who I am And this is all I know And I must choose to live For all that I can give The spark that makes the power grow
And I will stand for my dream if I can Symbol of my faith in who I am But you are my only And I must follow on the road that lies ahead And I won't let my heart control my head But you are my only And we don't say goodbye And I know what I've got to be
Immortality I make my journey through eternity I keep the memory of you and me inside
Fulfill your destiny Is there within the child My storm will never end My fate is on the wind The king of hearts, the joker's wild But we don't say goodbye I'll make them all remember me
Cos I have found a dream that must come true Every ounce of me must see it though But you are my only I'm sorry I don't have a role for love to play Hand over my heart I'll find my way I will make them give to me
Immortality There is a vision and a fire in me I keep the memory of you and me, inside And we don't say goodbye We don't say goodbye With all my love for you And what else we may do We don't say, goodbye
When I was a kid my old man said to me When you grow up son what cha gonna be? You gonna go to school and get a degree? Or you gonna go to work in a factory? I said Na na na na I know what I want and I know what I can And I wanna get a job in a rock'n roll band
Well The man at the desk said I know how you feel But how d'ya like a job fixing automobiles
Your card says you got no musical training
I said hey Look man You just don't get my meaning I don't wanna be no guitar star And the man on the piano works too damn hard And the bass man he don't cop for no glamour
I wanna be the man with the fifty pound hammer going
Na na na na
I know you get your kicks Playing Hendrix licks You're a wizard of Wembley Central You're the J.S. Bach of Belsize park
And me I'm just plain mental But when I play my boogie When I play my blues
It's like a whole tank regiment on the move You can play the notes and you can tell the story
Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye) Composer(s): Gary DeCarlo; Dale Frashuer; Paul Leka Performer(s): Steam; and various other artists
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
He'll never love you, the way that I love you 'Cause if he did, no no, he wouldn't make you cry He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love) So dog-gone willin' So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. Wanna see you kiss him) Go on and kiss him goodbye, now
Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
Listen to me now
He's never near you to comfort and cheer you When all those sad tears are fallin' baby from your eyes He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love (my love, my love) So dog-gone willin' So kiss him (I wanna see you kiss him. I wanna see you kiss him) Go on and kiss him goodbye, na-na na-na-na na na
Na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye
(fade in) Hey hey-ey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye (repeat many times and fade out)
"With the eyes of a fool", he said "You see the state you're in And still you stumble through your stupid life Still you laugh and grin Vagabond on a winding road That only leads you down Blind to the dangers and dismay That wipe the innocent smile away From the face of a laughing clown" Imbecile, you are acting like a fool again In a world of thieves all ready to run you down Imbecile, they are waiting till you make the first mistake And you're going to make it That's why I'll always call you an Imbecile "You weren't always a sorcerer" The Joker then replied "It seems to me you learned it on the way You lived by tricks and lies Standing around in your juggler's gown There seems no reason why Flashing your eyes and casting spells With candles and signs and magic bells Oh, you are the fool, not I" Imbecile, you can call me that if you feel the need But life is short and I am living it while I can If it rains, I'll get wet but in the sunshine I'll be dry It is you who are foolish Just 'cause I laugh don't call me an Imbecile "We both are right" said the sorcerer "And both of us are wrong For though we walk this road we don't know where it leads We only know it's long You have something to learn from me And I can learn from you You with your jokes and simple plans And me with my tricks and sleight of hands Together we could get through" Imbecile, we are dancing down a darkened road Though the stars are out, not one of us knows the way Imbeciles up ahead of us and millions more behind And we're laughing and smiling That's why I say we're all of us Imbeciles
Nå Må'ru Slutt' Opp Med å Se På Meg Sånn English Title: What Do You Want To Make Those Eyes At Me For? Composer(s): Monaco; McCarthy; Johnson; Mosnes Performer(s): New Jordal Swingers
Nå må'ru slutt' opp med å se på meg sånn Hvis det bare er på fleip Du er for blid Du driver forbi Du får meg til å tenke ting jeg aldri tør si Du leker en farlig lek nå Du gjør meg varm og god, så stikker du avsted Ja, bare fortsett sånn Til snøret er helt i bånn En dag vil du se At leken tar overhånd Så nå må'ru slutt' opp med å se på meg sånn Hvis det bare er på fleip
Imán De Mujer Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Hoy tengo un día de ésos en que mandaría todo a hacer puñetas incluso firmaría con placer el acta de mi rendición... Diría "adiós a todo eso" como Graves o incluso en plan asceta me subiría a una columna en el desierto como San Simón O, como Onetti, acaso intentaría no dejar jamás el lecho o pillaría el primer vuelo al Himalaya para hacerme Zen .. Pero, maldita sea, cómo dar el salto de lo dicho a lo hecho contigo, ahí, desnuda, repitiéndome: 'amor mío ven, ven, ven... Sólo por ti sigo aquí imán de mujer, imán de mujer... me voy a perder pero sin salir de ti Que el mundo fue y será una porquería ya lo dijo Enrique Santos y hoy tengo un día de esos en que sufro toda esa poesía cruel aunque que temo que yo mismo soy quien me produzco más espanto al verme comprendiendo las razones de Caín matando a Abel Me fugaría a Transilvania para convertirme en un vampiro para no ver tras el espejo al bicho infame que dice ser yo... Pero me abrazas y aún sabiendo que tus brazos son un mal retiro me tiro a tus infiernos donde habita diablo que te re-creó... Sólo por ti sigo aquí ...
Na Ilha De Lia, No Barco De Rosa (Meio-Dia, Meia-Lua)
Na Ilha De Lia, No Barco De Rosa (Meio-Dia, Meia-Lua) Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo Performer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo
Quando adormecia na ilha de Lia, meu Deus, eu só vivia a sonhar Que passava ao largo no barco de Rosa e queria aquela ilha abordar Pra dormir com Lia que via que eu ia sonhar dentro do barco de Rosa Rosa que se ria e dizia nem coisa com coisa
Era uma armadilha de Lia com Rosa com Lia, eu não podia escapar Girava num barco num lago no centro da ilha num moinho do mar Era estar com Rosa nos braços de Lia, era Lia com balanço de Rosa Era tão real, era devaneio Era meio a meio, meio Rosa, meio Lia, meio Rosa, meio-dia, meia-lua, meio Lia, meio
Era um partilha de Rosa com Lia com Rosa, eu não podia esperar Na feira do porto, meu corpo minh'alma, meus sonhos vinham negociar Era poesia nos pratos de Rosa, era prosa na balança de Lia Era tão real, era devaneio Era meio a meio, meio Lia, meio Rosa, meio Lia, meia-lua, meio-dia, meio Rosa, meio
Na ilha de Lia, de Lia, de Lia No barco de Rosa, de Rosa, de Rosa
Imagine-Toi Composer(s): Francis Cabrel Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
Imagine une nuit d'hiver Des arbres morts, les bras ouverts Une nuit profonde et glacée Que tu est seul à traverser Le vent a dû brûler tes mains T'es presque à genoux quand soudain Dans la nuit d'hiver que tu imagines Se lève un feu sur la colline Imagine, imagine-toi Tu as moins peur, tu as moins froid Imagine, imagine un peu Comme la première fois que j'ai croisé ses yeux Devant chez toi tout a vieilli Tout a séché, tout a jauni Le fleuve a fini de couler Tout a tu peux l'imaginer La terre craque et se divise Le soleil brûle ta chemise Tu crois que tout va disparaître Quand tu entends une source naître Imagine, imagine-toi Tu as moins peur, tu as moins froid Imagine, imagine un peu Comme la première fois que j'ai croisé ses yeux Tu fais la collection des femmes Tu a fait un lac avec leurs larmes Pour s'asseoir dans ta limousine Elles se battent, j'imagine Ton bonheur ressemble à l'hiver À un paysage à l'envers Tu as toujours peur, tu as toujours froid Puisque tu ne la connais pas Imagine, imagine-toi Tu as moins peur, tu as moins froid Imagine, imagine un peu Comme la première fois que j'ai croisé ses yeux
Na Carreira Composer(s): Chico Buarque; Edú Lobo Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Pintar, vestir Virar uma aguardente Para a próxima função Rezar, cuspir Surgir repentinamente Na frente do telão Mais um dia, mais uma cidade Pra se apaixonar Querer casar Pedir a mão
Saltar, sair Partir pé ante pé Antes do povo despertar Pular, zunir Como um furtivo amante Antes do dia clarear Apagar as pistas de que um dia Ali já foi feliz Criar raiz E se arrancar
Hora de ir embora Quando o corpo quer ficar Toda alma de artista quer partir Arte de deixar algum lugar Quando não se tem pra onde ir
Chegar, sorrir Mentir feito um mascate Quando desce na estação Parar, ouvir Sentir que tatibitati Que bate o coração Mais um dia, mais uma cidade Para enlouquecer O bem-querer O turbilhão
Bocas, quantas bocas A cidade vai abrir Pruma alma de artista se entregar Palmas pro artista confundir Pernas pro artista tropeçar
Voar, fugir Como o rei dos ciganos Quando junta os cobres seus Chorar, ganir Como o mais pobre dos pobres Dos pobres dos plebeus Ir deixando a pele em cada palco E não olhar pra trás E nem jamais Jamais dizer Adeus
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

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

(Now and then there's a fool such as I)
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
