Salome Composer(s): Jimmy Frey; Hubert Hugo; Andy Free Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
In duizend en één nachten Van kille noorderwind In duizend en één nachten Brandt jij door mijn gedachten Ten westen van het oosten Het noorden kwijtgeraakt Een glas om me te troosten Een toast op Salome
Salome Kom Salome dans Mijn Salome dans voor mij Salome Kom Salome dans Mijn Salome dans voor mij Ik droom naar je toe Naar 't land van mijn vader Want daar haal jij adem Daar geurt de lucht zoet En in 't avondrood Daar glanzen je haren Daar zie ik de jaren Die wegen als lood Maar laat m'n dromen nu voltooien Wat nooit is afgeraakt Nooit afgeraakt De ogen nat, de lippen droog Een gelogen vrolijk woord Zo kusten wij elkaar Voor de laatste keer
Salome Kom Salome dans Mijn Salome dans voor mij Salome Kom Salome dans Mijn Salome dans voor mij
Ik droom naar je toe Naar 't land van mijn vader Want daar haal jij adem Daar geurt de lucht zoet En in 't avondrood Daar glanzen je haren Daar zie ik de jaren Die wegen als lood Maar achter die fatamorgana Komt je hart steeds dichterbij, dichterbij En als de laatste sluier valt Leg je neer hier aan mijn zij Maak dan men zinnen vrij
Salome Kom Salome dans Mijn Salome dans voor mij Salome Kom Salome dans Mijn Salome dans voor mij
It Doesn't Have To Be That Way
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Jim Croce; Articles of Faith; The Ventures
Snowy nights and Christmas lights
Icy window panes
Make me wish that we could be
Together again
And the windy winter avenues
Just don't seem the same
And the Christmas carols sound like blues
But the choir is not to blame
But it doesn't have to be that way
What we had should have never have ended
And I'll be dropping by today
We could easily get it together tonight
It's only right
Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus
Tinseled afternoons
And the sidewalk bands that play their songs
Slightly out of tune
On the windy winter avenues
There walks a lonely man
And if I told you who he is
I think you'd understand
But it doesn't have to be that way
What we had should have never have ended
And I'll be dropping by today
We could easily get it together tonight
It's only right
Snowy nights and Christmas lights Icy window panes Make me wish that we could be Together again And the windy winter avenues Just don't seem the same And the Christmas carols sound like blues But the choir is not to blame
Chorus:
But it doesn't have to be that way What we had should have never have ended And I'll be dropping by today We could easily get it together tonight It's only right
Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus Tinseled afternoons And the sidewalk bands that play their songs Slightly out of tune On the windy winter avenues There walks a lonely man And if I told you who he is I think you'd understand
It Came Upon The Midnight Clear
(Adapted from: Study no. 23 - 1850)
Composer(s): Edmund Hamilton Sears; Richard Storrs Willis
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists
It came upon a midnight clear that glorious song of old From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold Peace on the earth goodwill to men from heav'n all gracious King The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing
For lo the days are hast'ning on by prophets seen of old When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold When the new heav'n and earth shall on the Prince of peace their king And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing
Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled And still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing
Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong And man at war with man hears not the tidings which they bring O hush the noise ye men of strife and hear the angels sing
O ye, beneath life's crushing load whose forms are bending low Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing
For lo the days are hastening on by prophets seen of old When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold When peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling And the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing
Salma Ya Salama (Italian Version: Uomo Di Sabbia) Composer(s): Jeff Barnel; Jahine Salah Performer(s): Dalida
Er kam sevara weit in der Sahara Träumte vom paradies
Von schattigen wegen Von blumen im regen Als er seine stadt verliess Und er glaubte es zu finden
Salma ya salama Wo ist da Glück ya salama Salma ya salama Ich komm zurück bei salama
Ich komm zurück bei salama Er zog immer weiter die hoffnug als begleiter Bis er das wunder sah grosser reichtum wälle Und der meere welle alles wie zum greifen nah es war eine lust zu leben
Salma ya salama Wo ist da Glück ya salama Salma ya salama Ich komm zurück bei salama
Die fata morgana, das spiegelbild seiner träume Löste sich in Wolken auf was übrigblieb War sand und wüste und er suchte weiter Fand den quell der freiheit die für ihn die zukunft war auf allen seinen wegen
Salma ya salama Wo ist da Glück ya salama Salma ya salama Ich komm zurück bei salama
Er kam sevara weit in der Sahara Träumte vom paradies Von schattigen wegen Von blumen im regen als er seine stadt verliess Und er glaubte es zu finden
Salma ya salama Wo ist da Glück ya salama Salma ya salama Ich komm zurück bei salama
Salma ya salama Wo ist da Glück ya salama Salma ya salama Ich komm zurück bei salama
Christmas Day has come Let's prepare for mirth Which fills the heavens and earth at the amazing birth Through both the joyous angels in strife and hurry fly With glory and hosannas `All Holy' do they cry In heaven the Church triumphant adores with all her choirs The militant on earth with humble faith admires
But why should we rejoice? Should we not rather morn To see the Hope of Nations thus in a stable born? Where are His crown and scepter Where is His throne sublime Where is his train majestic that should the stars outshine? Is there no sumptuous palace, nor any inn at all To lodge his heavenly mother but in a filthy stall?
Oh! Cease, ye blessed angels, such clamorous joys to make! Though midnight silence favors, the shepherds are awake And you, O glorious star! That with new splendor brings From the remotest parts three learned eastern kings Turn somewhere else your luster Your rays elsewhere display For Herod he may slay the babe and Christ must straight away
If we would then rejoice, let's cancel the old score And purposing amendment, resolve to sin no more For mirth can ne'er content us, without a conscience clear And thus we'll find true pleasure in all the usual cheer In dancing, sporting, reveling, with masquerade and drum So let our Christmas merry be, as Christmas doth become
Salma Ya Salama (Italian Version: Uomo Di Sabbia) Composer(s): Jeff Barnel; Pierre Delanoé; Jahine Salah Performer(s): Dalida and multiple other artists
Un homme des sables des plaines sans arbres s'en va de son pays Au-delà des dunes courir la fortune Car le paradis pour lui ce n'est qu'un jardin sous la pluie
Salma ya salama je te salue ya salama Salma ya salama je reviendrai bessalama
Mais l'homme des sables pour faire le voyage n'a que l'espoir au cur Un jour il arrive il touche la rive Il voit devant lui des fleurs la grande rivière du bonheur
Salma ya salama je te salue ya salama Salma ya salama je reviendrai bessalama
C'était un mirage Il n'y avait pas de rivière Et la bonne et riche et douce terre n'était que du sable Il reprend sa course vers une autre source Il finira pas trouver le puits de la liberté
Salma ya salama je te salue ya salama Salma ya salama Salma ya salama je reviendrai bessalama
Un homme des sables des plaines sans arbres S'en va de son pays Au-delà des dunes courir la fortune le seul paradis pour lui C'était un jardin sous la pluie
Salma ya salama je te salue ya salama Salma ya salama je reviendrai bessalama Salma ya salama je te salue ya salama Salma ya salama je reviendrai bessalama
In The Bleak Midwinter
(Adapted from: Cranham - 1906)
Composer(s): Christina Rossetti
Performer(s): Cliff Richard - 1967
and multiple other artists
In the bleak mid-winter Frosty wind made moan Earth stood hard as iron Water like a stone Snow had fallen, snow on snow Snow on snow In the bleak mid-winter Long ago
Our God, heaven cannot hold him Nor earth sustain Heaven and earth shall flee away When he comes to reign In the bleak mid-winter A stable-place sufficed The Lord God almighty Jesus Christ
Enough for him, whom cherubim Worship night and day A breastful of milk And a mangerful of hay Enough for him, whom angels Fall down before The ox and ass and camel Which adore
Angels and archangels May have gathered there Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air But only his mother In her maiden bliss Worshipped the Belov'd With a kiss
What can I give him Poor as I am If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb If I were a wise man I would do my part Yet what I can I give him Give my heart

Christmas time is so special (special special)
When you're kissing me (under the, under the) under the mistletoe
Exchanging loving gifts
Sitting in front of the tree
Me holding you and you holding me
Wishing I pray to be in love on Christmas
Because Christmas love gives me that feeling
Wishing I pray to be in love on Christmas
Because everybody should be in love with somebody on Christmas
Last year, Christmas
It happened without us (out us, out us)
I was all mixed up and confused
I didn't know what to do baby (what to do babe)
I never thought I'd feel this way
I always thought that Christmas was a happy day
I always prayed that Santa'd pack love
On his sleigh and send it my way
Wishing I pray to be in love on Christmas
Because Christmas love gives me that feeling
Wishing I pray to be in love on Christmas
Because everybody should be in love with somebody on Christmas
What a beautiful time
(Oh what a beautiful time it is) Time it is
A time to open gifts, and play with all the kids
Yes, it's Christmas (Yes, it's Christmas)
Yes, it's Christmas time again (Christmas time again)
Girl I love you (girl I love you baby)
Yes, I love you (yes I love you baby)
It's Christmas time again (oh)
To be in love on Christmas (girl I love you baby, yes I love you baby)
What a beautiful time it is
Happy time to open gifts
Yes now it's Christmas time
And I am yours
And you are mine
Oh when you're kissin' me
Right under my Christmas tree
Baby come close to me
Cuz this is how it should be!
Wishing I pray to be in love on Christmas
Because Christmas love gives me that feeling
Wishing I pray to be in love on Christmas
Because everybody should be in love with somebody on Christmas
(Grandmamma, with my granddaddy
And my momma and my daddy I'm with you on Christmas)

When Christ was born of Mary free In Bethlehem in that fair city Angels sung e'er with mirth and glee In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria
Herdsmen beheld these angels bright To them appeared with great light And said, "God's son is born this night" In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria
This King is come to save His kind In the Scripture as we find Therefore this song we have in mind In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria
Then, dear Lord, for Thy great grace Grant us the bliss to see Thy face Where we may sing to Thy solace In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria In excelsis gloria
Rose Parmi Les Roses (Adapted from: Sally, Go 'Round The Roses - 1963) Composer(s): Zell Sanders; Lona Spector; Jacques Plante Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1963
(Elle s'appelle Rose) Elle s'appelle Rose (Elle cueille des roses) Elle cueille des roses (Roses de septembre) Ont fleuri sa chambre (Roses couleur d'ambre) Roses rouges pour sa chambre
Tu ne sais donc pas Tu ne sais donc plus Qu'il ne viendra pas Qu'il ne viendra plus Tu attends celui qui t'aimait Mais qui ne reviendra plus jamais
(Fleurs du jardin) Ô fleurs du jardin (Ne lui dites rien) Ne lui dites rien (Ne lui dites rien) Non, non, ne lui dites rien (Ne lui dites rien) Oh non Elle croit qu'il vient tout à l'heure Comme avant, la serrer sur son c?ur
(Elle s'appelle Rose) Elle s'appelle Rose (Elle cueille des roses) Elle cueille des roses (Roses de l'automne) Roses pour personne (Roses qui s'étonnent) Qu'on les cueille pour personne
Tu ne sais donc pas Tu ne sais donc plus Qu'il ne viendra pas Qu'il ne viendra plus Tu attends celui qui t'aimait Mais qui ne reviendra plus jamais
(Fleurs du jardin) Ô fleurs du jardin (Ne lui dites rien) Ne lui dites rien (Ne lui dites rien) Non, non, ne lui dites rien (Ne lui dites rien) Oh non Chaque jour, elle va fleurir Un amour qui ne veut pas mourir
In dulci jubilo In dulci jubilo Nun singet und seid froh! Unsers Herzens Wonne Leit in praesepio Und leuchtet als die Sonne Matris in gremio Alpha es et O Alpha es et O!
O Jesu parvule Nach dir ist mir so weh! Tröst mir mein Gemüte O puer optime Durch alle deine Güte O princeps gloriae Trahe me post te Trahe me post te!
O Patris caritas! O Nati lenitas! Wir wären all verloren Per nostra crimina So hat er uns erworben Coelorum gaudia Eia, wären wir da Eia, wären wir da!
Ubi sunt gaudia Nirgend mehr denn da! Da die Engel singen Nova cantica, Und die Schellen klingen In regis curia Eia, wären wir da Eia, wären wir da!
Sally Simpson Composer(s): Pete Townshend
First release: The Who - 1969
Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced that Sally couldn't go to the meeting He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce and she ran inside weeping She got to her room and tears splashed the picture of the new Messiah She picked up a book of her fathers life and threw it on the fire!
She knew from the start Deep down in her heart That she and Tommy were worlds apart But her Mother said never mind your part... Is to be what you'll be
The theme of the sermon was come unto me Love will find a way So Sally decided to ignore her dad and sneak out anyway! She spent all afternoon getting ready and decided she'd try to touch him Maybe he'd see that she was free and talk to her this Sunday
She knew from the start Deep down in her heart That she and Tommy were worlds apart But her Mother said never mind your part... Is to be what you'll be
She arrived at six and the place was swinging to gospel music by nine Group after group appeared on the stage and Sally just sat there crying She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture right in the very front row And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge ran on and said 'here we go!'
The crowd went crazy As Tommy hit the stage! Little Sally got lost as the police bossed The crowd back in a rage!
But soon the atmosphere was cooler as Tommy gave a lesson Sally just had to let him know she loved him and leapt up on the rostrum! She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure and touched him on the face Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man threw her of the stage
She knew from the start Deep down in her heart That she and Tommy were worlds apart But her Mother said never mind your part... Is to be what you'll be Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down mingling with her tears Tommy carried on preaching and his voice filled Sally's ear She caught his eye she had to try but couldn't see through the lights Her face was gashed and the ambulance men had to carry her out that night
The crowd went crazy As Tommy left the stage! Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch And a gash across her face! OOoooh
Sixteen stitches put her right and her Dad said 'don't say I didn't warn yer' Sally got married to a rock musician she met in California Tommy always talks about the day the disciples all went wild! Sally still carries a scar on her cheek to remind her of his smile
She knew from the start Deep down in her heart That she and Tommy were worlds apart But her Mother said never mind your part... Is to be what you'll be

Wo sich bunte Träume drehen In dieser Nacht Die in Zärtlichkeit entstehen In dieser Nacht Werden wir uns wiederfinden Wenn Gedanken uns verbinden Ist die Liebe neu erwacht In dieser Nacht Wo der Wind die Wolken küsst Die er uns bringt Wo das Lied zu Hause ist Das nieder klingt Werden wir uns wiedersehen Wenn wir schweigend uns verstehen Ist die Liebe neu erwacht In dieser Nacht Wo die Worte Hoffnung bringen Und Zuversicht Wo Gefühle leise schwingen Leuchtet das Licht Das uns schein wohin wir gehen Wenn wir es im Dunkeln sehen Ist die Liebe neu erwacht In dieser Nacht

Sally Ann (You're such a pretty baby) Smile, Sally Ann, smile, Sally Ann, smile On a rainy night At the crack of dawn A little baby cried And Sally Ann was born She grew prettier every day And I remember what I used to say

In A Christmas Dream Composer(s): Walter Hyatt Performer(s): Tish Hinijosa
In a Christmas dream I see children's eyes That ask of love from you and me People being kind to each other Neighbors treating strangers just like brothers
In a Christmas dream I hear voices Singing carols sweet and clear Peace on earth, good will to man I'm so glad to hear that song again
Christmas time comes but once a year Let it fill our hearts, let it linger there Peace on earth, Christmas time is here Let it be the dream we all can share
In a Christmas dream I hear angels Saying brush away the fear Hope is burning with a steady flame I'm so hoping your dream is the same
Christmas time comes but once a year Let it fill our hearts, let it linger there Peace on earth, Christmas time is here Let it be the dream we all can share
