Joy To The World Composer(s): Isaac Watts; Lowell Mason
Joy to the world! the Lord is come Let earth receive her King Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing and heaven and nature sing and heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ while fields and floods rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
No more let sins and sorrows grow nor thorns infest the ground He comes to make His blessing flow far as the curse is found far as the curse is found far as, far as the curse is found
He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness and wonders of His love and wonders of His love and wonders, wonders of His love
Same Old Saturday Night Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Frank Reardon Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Went to see a movie show Found myself an empty row Thought the show was just alright Same old Saturday night
Then I made the usual stop Coffee at the coffee shop Friendly face nowhere in sight Same old Saturday night
I really thought - the papers I bought Would help me forget you for a while Believe me honey - the funnies weren't funny They didn't even make me smile
How I wish you'd lift the phone Fun is fun - but not alone 'Til you let me hold you tight Same old Saturday night
Only your face - can help me erase That same old Saturday night
Sam'di Soir Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Georges Garvarentz Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Si la semaine est faite pour travailler Sans relever la tête de son métier On se fait une fête La joie est là La joie est là À la pensée du sam'di soir
Qu'on attend plein d'espoir Cour battant sam'di soir Que l'on veut pour pouvoir Être heureux sam'di soir On peut s'aimer sans être déranger Le sam'di soir
Sam'di soir Enlacé sans rien dire Délivré sam'di soir Les enfants des coins noirs Sont amants sam'di soir Tout est permis Le monde vit sa vie Le sam'di soir
On discute et l'on fait du bruit On s'enflamme, on s'amuse et ri Et ça vie ça chahute et ça chauffe
Et l'on danse en scandant sa joie Et l'on chante en claquant des doigts Et ça crie, ça remue et ça chauffe
La joie dans nos yeux brille On oublie tout Et vaguement qu'on s'habille Et comme un fou On va chercher sa fille et ses copains Et ses copains au rendez-vous Du sam'di soir
Qu'on attend plein d'espoir Cour battant sam'di soir Que l'on veut pour pouvoir Être heureux sam'di soir On peut s'aimer sans être déranger Le sam'di soir
Sam'di soir Enlacé sans rien dire Délivré sam'di soir Les enfants des coins noirs Sont amants sam'di soir Tout est permis Le monde vit sa vie Le sam'di soir
On discute et l'on fait du bruit On s'enflamme, on s'amuse et ri Et ça vie ça chahute et ça chauffe
Et l'on danse en scandant sa joie Et l'on chante en claquant des doigts Et ça crie, ça remue et ça chauffe
Le sam'di soir Ah, sam'di soir Que faites-vous mademoiselle sam'di soir Ah, vous twistez?
Sam'di soir Tout est permis Le monde vit sa vie Le sam'di soir
She Is My Lady Composer(s): George Clinton Performer(s): Donny Hathaway and multiple other artists
I've learned to live for the sound of her laughter Her sunny smile is my only light To love her now is the sole thing that I'm after I'll make her melody my life She came to me when I knew I'd lost the meaning Lifted the shadow from across my way She touched my heart with the sweet song she was singing Brought back the sun into my days
Ooooh she is my lady I'm a witness to the wonder of her ways Oooh she's my lady The solitary reason for my days
And sometimes when my burdens just seem too overbearing The girl turns my tears with a single sigh She taught me loving And through love we both learned sharing Right now she's every, every reason why
Ooooh she is my lady I'm a witness to the wonder of her ways Ooooh she's my lady The solitary reason for my days
Oooooh, mmmmmmm Oooooooooooooooooo I dont have to worry cause she's my lady OOoooo She is my lady And the witness goes The wonder of her ways Ooo I'm so thankful She is my lady Yes she is My one and only reason For my days Won't you help me say it Ooooo She is my lady She is my lady I'm a witness Yeah Oooooooooo My one and only reason Yeah....
Zilverdraden Tussen Goud Composer(s): P.H. Danks; Jack Hotte; Jean Lahey Performer(s): Jo Vally
Snel vergaan de jonge jaren Met de tijd wordt men dan oud Grijs worden de blonde haren Net als zilver tussen goud Vele vreugde somtijds ook verdriet Bracht ons reeds zo menig jaar Het geluk in 't korte leven Vonden wij nochtans te gaar
Doch voor mij zie ik je altijd weer Eeuwig mooi en eeuwig jong Juist zo lief als toen ik vroeger Om uw jeugdig hartje dong
Grijs worden de blonde haren Zilverdraden tussen goud Kleine rimpeltjes die plooien Reeds uw voorhoofd en uw mond Grijs worden die blonde haren Zilverdraden tussen goud
Joseph And Mary's Boy Composer(s): Don Cook; Keith Whitley Performer(s): Alabama
Out here in the country there's magic in the air It's the middle of December, there's excitement everywhere Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned The gift is just what's in your hearts and not what's in your hands
And who's the one we need to thank, who's the party for Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy The Preacher said last Sunday it was Joseph and Mary's boy
There were times we didn't think we'd make it through the year The banker tried to take our farm, but somehow we're still here I don't know how our crops survived the drought and too much rain It must have been a miracle, how else could you explain
And who's the one we need to thank, and who's this party for And who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy And who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy The Preacher said last Sunday it was Joseph and Mary's boy
The Christ Child born in Bethlehem Joseph and Mary's boy
La-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned The gift is just what's in your hearts and not what's in your hands
Samba Saravah (Adapted from: Samba Da Benção - 1963) (Swedish Version: Sylvias Samba - 1969) Composer(s): Baden Powell; Vinicius de Moraes; Francis Lai; Pierre Barouh Performer(s): Pierre Barouh - 1966 and multiple other artists
Être heureux c'est plus ou moins ce qu'on cherche J'aime rire chanter et je n'empêche Pas les gens qui sont bien d'être joyeux Pourtant s'il est une samba sans tristesse C'est un vin qui donne pas l'ivresse Un vin qui ne donne pas l'ivresse Non ce n'est pas la samba que je veux
J'en connais que la chanson incommode D'autres pour qui ce n'est rien qu'une mode D'autres qui en profitent sans l'aimer Moi je l'aime et j'ai parcouru le monde En cherchant ses racines vagabondes C'est la chanson de samba qu'il faut chanter
On m'a dit qu'elle venait de Bahia Qu'elle doit son rythme et sa poésie À des siècles de danses et de douleur Mais quel que soit le sentiment qu'elle exprime Elle est blanche de forme et de rimes Blanche de forme et de rimes Elle est nègre bien nègre dans son coeur
Mais quel que soit le sentiment qu'elle exprime Elle est blanche de forme et de rimes Blanche de forme et de rimes Elle est nègre bien nègre dans son coeur
Mais quel que soit le sentiment qu'elle exprime Elle est blanche de forme et de rimes Blanche de forme et de rimes Elle est nègre bien nègre dans son coeur Elle est nègre bien nègre dans son coeur
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
Jolly old Saint Nicholas Lean your ear this way! Don't you tell a single soul What I'm going to say Christmas Eve is coming soon Now, you dear old man Whisper what you'll bring to me Tell me if you can
When the clock is striking twelve When I'm fast asleep Down the chimney broad and black With your pack you'll creep All the stockings you will find Hanging in a row Mine will be the shortest one You'll be sure to know
Johnny wants a pair of skates Susy wants a dolly Nellie wants a story book She thinks dolls are folly As for me, my little brain Isn't very bright Choose for me, old Santa Claus What you think is right

Titles In Other Languages: 1966 - Samba Saravah 1969 - Sylvias Samba
Cantado
É melhor ser alegre que ser triste Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe É assim como a luz no coração
Mas pra fazer um samba com beleza É preciso um bocado de tristeza É preciso um bocado de tristeza Senão, não se faz um samba não
Falado
Senão é como amar uma mulher só linda E daí? Uma mulher tem que ter Qualquer coisa além de beleza Qualquer coisa de triste Qualquer coisa que chora Qualquer coisa que sente saudade Um molejo de amor machucado Uma beleza que vem da tristeza De se saber mulher Feita apenas para amar Para sofrer pelo seu amor E pra ser só perdão
Cantado
Fazer samba não é contar piada E quem faz samba assim não é de nada O bom samba é uma forma de oração Porque o samba é a tristeza que balança E a tristeza tem sempre uma esperança A tristeza tem sempre uma esperança De um dia não ser mais triste não
Ponha um pouco de amor numa cadência E vai ver que ninguém no mundo vence A beleza que tem um samba, não
Porque o samba nasceu lá na Bahia E se hoje ele é branco na poesia Se hoje ele é branco na poesia Ele é negro demais no coração
Falado

A vida não é brincadeira, amigo A vida é arte do encontro Embora haja tanto desencontro pela vida Há sempre uma mulher à sua espera Com os olhos cheios de carinho Ponha um pouco de amor na sua vida Como no seu samba A bênção, a bênção, Baden Powell Amigo novo, parceiro novo Que fizeste este samba comigo A bênção, amigo A bênção, maestro Moacir Santos Não és um só, és tantos como O meu Brasil de todos os santos Inclusive meu São Sebastião Saravá!

Samba Do Grande Amor Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque and multiple other artists
Tinha cá pra mim Que agora sim Eu vivia enfim o grande amor Mentira Me atirei assim De trampolim Fui até o fim um amador
Passava um verão A água e pão Dava o meu quinhão pro grande amor Mentira Eu botava a mão No fogo então Com meu coração de fiador
Hoje eu tenho apenas uma pedra no meu peito Exijo respeito, não sou mais um sonhador Chego a mudar de calçada Quando aparece uma flor E dou risada do grande amor Mentira
Fui muito fiel Comprei anel Botei no papel o grande amor Mentira Reservei hotel Sarapatel E lua-de-mel em Salvador
Fui rezar na Sé Pra São José Que eu levava fé no grande amor Mentira Fiz promessa até Pra Oxumaré De subir a pé o Redentor
Hoje eu tenho apenas uma pedra no meu peito Exijo respeito, não sou mais um sonhador Chego a mudar de calçada Quando aparece uma flor E dou risada do grande amor Mentira
Jesus Is The Light Of The World Composer(s): Charlie Daniels Performer(s): Charlie Daniels
On a clear night, many many years ago Two weary strangers moving slow Were looking for a place to stay But there was no place Though they traveled many miles So Mary being great with Child Lay down on the sweet smelling hay Then a bright light fell from heaven As a special star shone bright And three wise men from a foreign land Came to worship him that night And in the clear night you could hear the angels sing Praises to the newborn King Jesus is the light of the world
And the angels heralding the Holy Birth Were singing Peace to men on Earth Unto you is born a Son And the shepherds Though they had their flocks to tend Journeyed unto Bethlehem To behold the Holy One
And then the Boy grew up to be a Man Come to set the captives free Come to heal the sick and raise the dead And to cause the blind to see And the best part is even though He's gone away He'll be coming back someday Jesus is the Light of the world
And the best part is even though He's gone away He'll be coming back someday Jesus is the Light of the world Jesus is the Light of the world Jesus is the Light of the world
