Inch'allah (Dutch Version: Inch'allah by Rob De Nijs) Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo First release by: Salvatore Adamo - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
J'ai vu l'orient dans son écrin avec la lune pour bannière Et je comptais en un quatrain chanter au monde sa lumière
Mais quand j'ai vu Jérusalem, coquelicot sur un rocher J'ai entendu un requiem quand, sur lui, je me suis penché
Ne vois-tu pas, humble chapelle, toi qui murmures "paix sur la terre" Que les oiseaux cachent de leurs ailes ces lettres de feu: "danger, frontière"?
Le chemin mène à la fontaine Tu voudrais bien remplir ton sceau Arrête-toi, Marie-Madeleine: pour eux, ton corps ne vaut pas l'eau
Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah
Et l'olivier pleure son ombre, sa tendre épouse, son amie Qui repose sous les décombres prisonnières en terre ennemie
Sur une épine de barbelés, le papillon guette la rose Les gens sont si écervelés qu'ils me répudieront si j'ose
Dieu de l'enfer ou Dieu du ciel, toi qui te trouves ou bon te semble Sur cette terre d'Israël, il y a des enfants qui tremblent
Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah Inch'Allah
Les femmes tombent sous l'orage Demain, le sang sera lavé La route est faite de courage: une femme pour un pavé
Mais oui: j'ai vu Jérusalem, coquelicot sur un rocher J'entends toujours ce requiem lorsque, sur lui, je suis penché
Requiem pour 6 millions d'âmes qui n'ont pas leur mausolée de marbre Et qui, malgré le sable infâme, ont fait pousser 6 millions d'arbres
Neighbours Composer(s): Tony Hatch; Jackie Trent Performer(s): Barry Crocker; and various other artists
Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend Neighbours, should be there for one another That's when good neighbours become good friends
Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours Just a friendly wave each morning, helps to make a better day Neighbours, need to get to know each other Next door is only a footstep away
Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours With a little understanding, you can find the perfect blend Neighbours, should be there for one another That's when good neighbours become good friends
Neighbours, should be there for one another That's when good neighbours become good friends That's when good neighbours become good friends
Incense And Peppermints Composer(s): Tim Gilbert; John Carter Performer(s): Strawberry Alarm Clock
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind Dead kings, many things I can't define Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose? Little to win but nothin' to lose
Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah, yeah!
To divide this cockeyed world in two Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do Beatniks and politics, nothing is new A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view
Who cares what games we choose? Little to win but nothin' to lose
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind Dead kings, many things I can't define Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose? Little to win but nothin' to lose
Incense and peppermints Incense and peppermints
Sha la la Sha la la Sha la la Sha la la Sha la la ...
Neighbor, Neighbor Composer(s): Billy Gibbons Performer(s): ZZ Top; Jimmy Hughes
Neighbor, neighbor, why you messin' in my life? Neighbor, neighbor, you've been talkin' to my wife tellin' her you seen me runnin' wild the other night,runnin' wild the other night A neighbor, neighbor, there's always one in every crowd A neighbor, neighbor, tellin' lies and talkin' loud You better watch your step now You might fall off your cloud You might fall off your cloud
Now I was walking down a dusty road when along came a neighbor of mine He saw me walkin' with my head hung down he just had to stop and pass the time Neighbor, neighbor, floatin' in the salty brine floatin' in the salty brine
L'homme a créé des Dieux l'inverse tu rigoles Croire c'est aussi fumeux que la ganja Tire sur ton joint pauvre rasta Et inhale tes paraboles
Là-bas en Ethiopie est une sombre idole Haïlé Sélassié négus roi des rois Descendant de Moïse à ce qu'en croient Certains quant à moi je les crois sur parole
Des esclaves le protègent sous de noirs parasols Du ciel blanc d'Addis-Abeba À ses pieds un lionceau emblème de Juda Symbole
Dans son lointain palais le négus s'isole Prisonnier après un nouveau coup d'État Peut-être passé par les armes va savoir qui ou quoi Demande donc à la C.I.A. ou Interpol
In Your Room
((French & Italian Versions: Dans Ta Chambre (Charles Aznavour); Dove C'è (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Kaye
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
In your room there are airs from the words that you speak And the breath of a rose for the blush of your cheek We're adrift, we're afloat, on snowy clouds of satin That carry us to heaven, safe in each other's arms
In your room there is, there is, there is, there is In your room there is, there is infinity In your room there is love, born in you, torn from me
We are one silhouette and my senses reveal Fingers drawn from the touch of a softness I feel And my head's in a spin from love's intoxication For this is our creation, the miracle of love
In your room there is, there is, there is, there is In your room there is, there is infinity In your room there is love, born in you, torn from me
There is infinity In your room, there is love Born in you, torn from me
Negra Maria Composer(s): Lucio Demare; Homero Manzi Performer(s): Raphael; and various other artists
Hay bruna, bruna Nacio maria y esta en la cuna Nacio de dia sin ver la luna Guardara la madre su vestido blanco Y se ira a la fiesta con un traje largo Y sera la reina cuando maria cumpla quince años Le llamaremos negra maria Negra maria que abriste los ojos en carnaval
Ojos grandes tendra maria Dientes de nacar, color moreno ¡Ay! que rojos seran sus labios ¡Ay! que cadencia tendra su cuerpo
Amara el baile, negra maria Negra la madre, negra la niña Cantaran para ti Unas guitarras y los violines Y los resongos del bandoleon La llamaremos negra maria Negra maria que abriste los ojos en carnaval
Hay bruna, bruna Murio maria y esta en la cuna Murio de dia sin ver la luna Ya no guardara la madre su vestido blanco Ni se ira de fiesta con un traje largo Ni sera la reina cuando cumpla quince años Le lloraremos, negra maria Negra maria cerrastes los ojos en carnaval
¡Ay! que triste fue tu destino Angel de mota, color moreno ¡Ay! que triste sera tu destino ¡Ay! que silencio tendra tu cuerpo
Llora la madre, duerme la niña Negra, sangraran para ti Las guitarras y los violines Y los resongos del bandoleon Le lloraremos negra maria Negra maria, cerrastes los ojos en carnaval
I think I finally know you I can see beyond your smile I think that I can show you That what we have is still worthwhile Don't you know that love's just like the thread That keeps unravelling but then It ties us back together in the end
In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections In your eyes, found the answers to my questions In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore And I think I've finally learned to love you more
You warned me that life changes That no one really knows Whether time would make us strangers Or whether time would make us grow Even though the winds of time will change In a world where nothing stays the same Through it all our love will still remain
In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections In your eyes, found the answers to my questions In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore And I think I've finally learned to love you more
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore And I think I've finally learned to love you more
In Yokohama (Adapted from: Ue O Muite Arukoo - 1961) (Danish Version: Sukiyaki - 1963) Composer(s): Hachidai Nakamura; Rokusuke Ei Performer(s): Tony Vos - 1963
In Yokohama komen, tot waarheid, al m'n dromen Waar ik eens zei, tegen jou "Ach m'n lentebloesem, ik hou van jou, ik wil je tot vrouw Geef me je ja-woord dus maar gauw"
In Yokohama zei je "Ik blijf voor altijd bij je Breng mij dus vlug dat geluk, als je lentebloesem 'k Wil naast je staan, met kimono aan Als we in het huwelijksbootje gaan"
Ik wil voor altijd zijn Waar de liefde begon In 't land van maneschijn En de rijzende zon
In Yokohama komen, tot waarheid, al m'n dromen Als ik weer zeg, heel oprecht "Ach m'n lentebloesem, ik hou van jou, ik wil jou tot vrouw Geef me je ja-woord dus maar gauw"
In Yokohama komen, tot waarheid, al m'n dromen Als ik weer zeg, heel oprecht "Ach m'n lentebloesem, ik hou van jou, ik wil jou tot vrouw Geef me je ja-woord dus maar gauw"
Needles And Pins ((French Version: La Nuit N'en Finit Plus (by Petula Clark) - 1963)) Composer(s): Sonny Bono - Jack Nitzsche First release by: Jackie De Shannon - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists
I saw her today, I saw her face It was a face I loved and I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray That there'd come a day And still it begins, needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I've got to hide
Oh, I thought I was smart I'll hold her heart And I didn't think I'd do But know I see She's worse to him than me Let her go ahead, and take his love instead And one day she will see
Just how to say please And get down on her knees Yeah that's how it begins She'll feel those needles and pins I know, I know
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong I'm wrong, so wrong Why can't I stand up And tell myself I'm strong?
Because I saw her today, I saw her face It was a face I loved and I knew I had to run away And get down on my knees and pray That there'd come a day And still it begins, needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I've gotta hide Oh needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins
Needle Of Death Composer(s): Bert Jansch Performer(s): Bert Jansch; and various other artists
When sadness fills your heart And sorrow hides the longing to be free When things go wrong each day You fix your mind to 'scape your misery
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
How strange, your happy words Have ceased to bring a smile from everyone How tears have filled the eyes Of friends that you once had walked among
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
One grain of pure white snow Dissolved in blood spread quickly to your brain In peace your mind withdraws Your death so near your soul can't feel no pain
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
Your mother stands a'cryin' While to the earth your body's slowly cast Your father stands in silence Caressing every young dream of the past
Your troubled young life Had made you turn To a needle of death
Through ages, man's desires To free his mind, to release his very soul Has proved to all who live That death itself is freedom for evermore
And your troubled young life Will make you turn To a needle of death
