1966 - De Tijd Komt En Gaat Voorbij (Johnny Lion)
Everybody asks if I still love you And if you're still on my mind They ask me to tell 'em 'bout my broken heart And I tell 'em that I'm feeling fine I lie a little bit, and I proudly say Our book of love is closed And your memory never bothers me And when it does it comes and goes
It comes and goes all right Comes every morning and it goes all night I save a lot of pride and I haven't really lied I just tell 'em that it comes and goes
Everybody asks if I cried when you left me And if I've cried for you since They hope I have so they can all get together And laugh it up at my expense
So I lie a little bit and I proudly say Not one tear drop flows When there is a little pain it's not a constant thing It kinda just comes and goes
It comes and goes all right Comes every morning and it goes all night I save a lot of pride and I haven't really lied I just tell 'em that it comes and goes
No Digas Nunca Jamás Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Después de tantos nunca más de no volver la vista atrás de pronto estás ahí... Y aquello que no pudo ser ahora vuelve a renacer y ha sido porque sí... Cuando por fin logré olvidar quién iba nunca a imaginar que al cabo de los años volverías a decirme nada existe, nada existe sin ti Pero ahora nunca me oirás decirte nunca jamás No, no, no nunca jamás no digas nunca jamás jamás, jamás Volvió después de mucho errar el marinero de la mar del monte, el cazador... Aquel que se empeñó en huir porque era cosa de vivir la vida alrededor Y el mundo aquel por descubrir ¡feliz revés del devenir! en una vuelta de esas me devuelve tu presencia y redescubro, redescubro el amor... Pero ahora nunca me oirás... El terco sino del azar que no ha cesado de jugar al gato y al ratón... nos ha empujado el gran error de no tener ningún temor a la imaginación y así el destino, siempre cruel en este caso ha sido infiel a todos sus principios y, en un gesto de locura nos invita a perder lo razón Pero ahora nunca me oirás
De Tijd Komt En Gaat Voorbij ((Adapted from: It Comes And Goes (Burl Ives) - 1963)) ((French Version: J'y Pense Et Puis J'oublie (Claude François) - 1964)) Composer(s): Bill Anderson - Johnny Lion Performer(s): Johnny Lion - 1966
Wanneer je wel eens denkt dat niemand je meer kent En je eenzaam bent Dan denk je vaak aan vroeger toen je zo gelukkig was En alles nog een sprookje leek Maar zelfs de mooiste sprookjes hebben soms wel eens een traan Tranen die je nu vergeet Want toen was er altijd iemand die je hart verwarmen kon Die iemand, die er nu ontbreekt
Tijd komt en gaat voorbij Na regenbuien is er weer een zon die schijnt Dus treur vandaag maar niet Al heb je ook verdriet Ook slechte tijden gaan voorbij
Want morgen is misschien de dag waar ik van droom Dromen zijn soms waar Dan ben ik weer, als vroeger, zo gelukkig als een kind Al ben ik dan geen zeven jaar Dan ben ik niet meer eenzaam en dan heb ik geen verdriet Die tijd is dan voorbij Voorbij zijn ook mijn tranen en terug is het geluk Misschien is dan mijn dag weer blij
Tijd komt en gaat voorbij Na regenbuien is er weer een zon die schijnt Dus treur vandaag maar niet Al heb je ook verdriet Ook slechte tijden gaan voorbij
Tijd komt en gaat voorbij Na regenbuien is er weer een zon die schijnt Dus treur vandaag maar niet Al heb je ook verdriet Ook slechte tijden gaan voorbij

Farewell Killarney
Composer(s): Gus Edwards; Edward Madden
Performer(s): Julius Marx
Kiss me Killarney, Darling
Don't let your heart grow sad
Hark! to my comrades calling
Calling your soldier lad
Just like a shamrock pining
Sweet with the morning dew
So are the teardrops shining
Deep in your eyes of blue
Farewell Killarney
Smile through your tears
Don't mind the blarney
I gave in the bygone years, Acushla
Kiss me, Mavourneen
Just for love's sweet sake
Bye and bye we'll meet
By Killarney's Lake
Hark to the bagpipes calling
Hark to the tramp of feet
Somebody's tears are falling
No one for her to meet
Hold up your head, Killarney
Smile, though your heart will ache
Never a word of blarney
Softens the news they break
Farewell Killarney
Smile through your tears
Don't mind the blarney
I gave in the bygone years, Acushla
Kiss me, Mavourneen
Just for love's sweet sake
Bye and bye we'll meet
By Killarney's Lake
No Dejes Que Otros Lo Hagan Por Vos (Elegir) Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
Nada más preciado que la continuidad El amor si no es eterno no vale Para alimentarlo hay que saber inventar Y mentirse sólo lo indispensable
Siempre hay una forma de retroceder Convencido de que es más conveniente Meterse en una jaula y ya no salir Que es lo que hace la gente decente
Elegir Lo que sea, pero elegir Lo que quieras, pero elegir Tu sexo, tu idioma, tu color No dejes que otros lo hagan por vos
A sufrir, a sufrir, que el dolor es virtud Después de todo es más difícil ser libre El que arriesga poco, poco puede esperar Que ni sueñe que su parche vibre
Aceptar el reto, seguir la señal Enfrentarse a los posibles abismos Abrir todas las puertas, desmontar la razón Apagar los juicios sobre uno mismo
Elegir Lo que sea, pero elegir Lo que quieras, pero elegir Tu sexo, tu idioma, tu color No dejes que otros lo hagan por vos
No Debo Pensar En Ti Composer(s): Alejandro Performer(s): Nino Bravo
No debo pensar en ti no debo llamarte más y olvidarme de tu amor y pensar que no existió aunque tenga que llorar
No debo pensar en ti no debo buscarte más he llegado a comprender que este amor no puede ser pero cuando tú estás lejos de tu amor me acuerdo y vuelvo a ti porque nada encontré mejor vuelvo a ti porque extraño tu voz vuelvo a ti porque tú eres mi gran amor gran amor y sin ti no vivo!!
No debo pensar en ti no debo buscarte más he llegado a comprender que este amor no puede ser pero cuando tú estás lejos de tu amor me acuerdo y vuelvo a ti porque nada encontré mejor vuelvo a ti porque extraño tu voz vuelvo a ti porque tu eres mi gran amor gran amor y sin ti no vivo!!
no debo pensar en ti no debo pensar en ti no debo pensar en ti no, no.. no

It Came Out Of The Sky Composer(s): John Fogerty First release by: Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, It Came Out Of The Sky, landed just a little south of Moline Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't believe what he seen Laid on the ground and shook, fearing for his life Then he ran all the way to town screaming "It Came Out Of The Sky"
Well, a crowd gathered 'round and a scientist said it was marsh gas Spiro came and made a speech about raising the Mars tax The Vatican said, "Woe, the Lord has come" Hollywood rushed out an epic film And Ronnie the Popular said it was a communist plot
Oh, the newspapers came and made Jody a national hero Walter and Eric said they'd put him on a network T.V. show The White House said, "Put the thing in the Blue Room" The Vatican said, "No, it belongs to Rome" And Jody said, "It's mine and you can have it for seventeen million"
Oh, It Came Out Of The Sky, landed just a little south of Moline Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't believe what he seen Laid on the ground a shaking, fearing for his life Then he ran all the way to town screaming "It Came Out Of The Sky"
No Chemise, Please! Composer(s): Jodi D'Amour; Arnold Goland; Gerry Granahan Performer(s): Gerry Granahan
I had a date for the hop last night Up to her door everything seemed right But to my surprise as I opened the door I couldn't tell the front from the back "'Cause she was wearin' a sack dress Whew what a mess! The last time I saw her, man what a shape!! And now she's got a shape like an egg!
No chemise, please, not for me, please Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack And bring a sweater back!!
When we arrived at the hop We started in doin' the stroll I told her I wanted to stop But she wanted rock and roll I told her forty times and it really was a crime I was talkin' to the back of her head!!
No chemise, please, not for me, please Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack And bring a sweater back!!---yeah
Sure would like to find the creator Who covered up my baby in this tent He musta been a woman-hater I keep wonderin' where the wiggle went So won't you change the fad, have pity on me please Put 'er back in her dungarees
No chemise, please, not for me, please Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack And bring a sweater back!!
No chemise, please, not for me, please Well you can take back the sack, leave it hangin' on the rack Bring a sweater back!!
Do Not Say Good-Bye Composer(s): Leonard Marx Performer(s): The Marx Brothers
You ask me why I feel so blue You ask me why I cry You ask me why I look so sad You ask me why I sigh
You made me love you more and more And now that we must part The sunshine leaves, the sorrow comes Into my breaking heart
Don't say good-bye, Dear, please don't go away I feel so lonesome, I want you to stay, my Dearie When I am lonely, that's the time I sigh I want you only, so do not say good-bye
I knew that sometime you would go And leave me all alone I hoped in vain that you might stay And never, never roam
And though you promise to return I know that you'll not find The broken heart, the shattered life That you once left behind
Don't say good-bye, Dear, please don't go away I feel so lonesome, I want you to stay, my Dearie When I am lonely, that's the time I sigh I want you only, so do not say good-bye

1974 - Cadeau (by Marie Laforêt)
1978 - Ingen Regning (by Peter Belli)
My little boy came into the kitchen this evenin'
While I was fixin' supper
And he handed me a piece of paper he'd been writin' on
And after wipin' my hands on my apron
I read it - and this is what it said
For mowin' the yard - five dollars
And for makin' my own bed this week - one dollar
And for goin' to the store - fifty cents
An' playin' with little brother, while you went shoppin' - twenty-five cents
Takin' out the trash - one dollar
Gettin' a good report card - five dollars
And for rakin' the yard - two dollars
Total owed - fourteen seventy-five
Well, I looked at 'im standin' there expectantly
And a thousand mem'ries flashed through my mind
So I picked up the pen, turnin' the paper over
This is what I wrote
For nine months I carried you
Growin' inside me - No Charge
For the nights I've sat up with you
Doctored you, prayed for you - No Charge
For the time and the tears
And the cost through the years, there's No Charge
When you add it all up
The full cost of my love is No Charge
For the nights filled with dread
And the worries ahead - No Charge
For advice and the knowledge
And the cost of your college - No Charge
For the toys, food and clothes and for wipin' your nose
There's No Charge, son
When you add it all up
The full cost of my love, is - No Charge
Well, when he finished readin'
He had great big old tears in his eyes
And he looked up at me and he said
"Mama, I sure do love you"
Then he took the pen
And in great big letters
He wrote: "Paid In Full"
When you add it all up
The cost of real love is - No Charge
Can't stand it no more The people dying Crying for help for so many years But nobody hears Better end soon my friend It better end soon my friend
Can't take it no more The people hating Hurting their brothers They don't understand They can't understand Better end soon my friend It better end soon
Hey, everybody Won't you just look around Can't anybody see? Just what's going down Can't you take the time? Just to feel Just to feel what is real If you do Then you'll see that we got a raw deal They're killing everybody I wish it weren't true They say we got to make war Or the economy will fall But if we don't stop We won't be around no more They're ruining this world For you and me The big heads of state Won't let us be free They made the rules once But it didn't work out Now we must try again Before they kill us off No more dying! No more killing No more dying No more fighting We don't want to die No, we don't want to die Please let's change it all Please let's make it all Good for the present And better for the future Let's just love one another Let's show peace for each other We can make it happen Let's just make it happen We can change this world Please let's change this world Please let's make it happen for our children For our women Change the world Please make it happen Come on Come on Please Come on It's up to me It's up to you So let's do it now Yeah Do it now
Can't stand it no more The people cheating Burning each other They know it ain't right How can it be right Better end soon my friend It better end soon my friend
No Chain At All Composer(s): No Chain At All Performer(s): Roy Orbison
Most women want to chain you To promises and such They take a little freedom Each time they let you touch
She didn't try to chain me That's why I turned around She let me taste my freedom And now I'm homeward bound
You know I'm headed on back to her I'm hearing her call The strongest chain in the world Is no chain at all, at all That's why I'm headed on back to her
She won't make me crawl The strongest chain in the world Is no chain at all
At least one pretty woman In every sleepy town Would bargain with the lovin' And try to tie me down
I took what I was offered Like most men probably would But teasing in my memory Was something twice as good
You know I'm headed on back to her I'm hearing her call The strongest chain in the world Is no chain at all, at all That's why I'm headed on back to her She won't make me crawl The strongest chain in the world Is no chain at all, at all That's why I'm headed on back to her Headed on back to her Loving my baby
Darcy Farrow Composer(s): Steve Gillette; Tom Campbell First release by: Ian & Sylvia - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
Where the Walker runs down to the Carson Valley plane There lived a maiden, Darcy Farrow was her name The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the plain
Her voice was sweet as the sugar candy Her touch was soft as a bed of goosedown Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights That shine in the night out of Yerrington Town
She was courted by young Vandermere And quite handsome was he, as I hear He bought her silverrings and other lacy things And she promised to wed before the snows fell that year
But her pony did stumble and she did fall Her dying touched the hearts of us one and all Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain And they buried them together as the snow began to fall
They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round And to young Vandy whose love was true
Les enfants sont nés pour la musique
Les pianos magiques
Les flûtes enchantées
Et on leur donne des travaux pratiques
Des trains électriques
Au lieu de les aimer
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
Les enfants sont faits pour écouter
Ce que disent les arbres
Ce que pense le temps
Et on leur donne des fleurs en plastique
Un monde mécanique
Dont le cur est absent
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
Donnez-leur quelques chevaux sauvages
cachés comme des rires au-dessous des nuages
et vous verrez leurs yeux vous montrer lavenir
et vous trouverez Dieu au coin de leur sourire
Les enfants ne se dérangent pas
Ils sont la vérité que lon n écoute pas
Ils feraient sils conduisaient le bal
Des villes de cristal, des maisons de soleil
Laissons-les faire, ils sont des musicien
Ils sont des magicien, des faiseurs darcs-en-ciel
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
Vous avez coupé tous les chemins
Que dautres comme moi
Ont ouvert de leurs mains
Vos rêves ne sont plus que dans quelques chansons
Qui se brisent deux fois sur des murs de béton
Tournez-vous du côté des prophètes
Du côté des poètes
Du côté des enfants
Les enfants sont nés pour la musique
Les pianos magiques
Les jets deau du Square
Laissez-les vivre du côté de lamour
Et vous aurez un jour
Des milliers de Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Voilà ce que Mozart
Dirait
