Saragossa, Saragossa dat is de stad van m'n dromen Saragossa, Saragossa waar nooit de winter zal komen Je zult je hart verliezen in Saragossa Voor 't vrije leven kiezen in Saragossa Ja, alle wegen leiden naar Saragossa Misschien komen we nooit meer terug
'k Ben steeds opzoek naar het groot avontuur al voel ik me hier thuis Na zoveel jaren wil je wel een keer ver weg van huis, oh oh oh M'n hart blijft in Vlaanderen, m'n geest sloeg op hol, de zilveren vogel wacht Het weer zat niet mee, 't was veel te koud aan zee, maar dus omlaag
In Saragossa, Saragossa dat is de stad van m'n dromen Saragossa, Saragossa waar nooit de winter zal komen Je zult je hart verliezen in Saragossa Voor 't vrije leven kiezen in Saragossa Ja, alle wegen leiden naar Saragossa Misschien komen we nooit meer terug, oh oh oh
Met kussen en tranen en Sandra's rozen zat ik op fluweel 'k Ben vrijgezel voor zwart en blonde meisjes zo alleen Ze noemen me playboy na die ode's aan meisjes op pappie nummer twee Vijftien jaar Jimmy is voor mij een feest, ga met me mee
Naar Saragossa, Saragossa dat is de stad van m'n dromen Saragossa, Saragossa waar nooit de winter zal komen Je zult je hart verliezen in Saragossa Voor 't vrije leven kiezen in Saragossa Ja, alle wegen leiden naar Saragossa Misschien komen we nooit meer terug, oh oh oh

Sara Smile Composer(s): Daryl Hall; John Oates First release by: Hall & Oates - 1975 Covered by multiple other artists
Baby hair with a woman's eyes I can feel you watching in the night All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight When I feel cold you warm me When I feel I can't go on you come and hold me It's you... And me forever
Sara Smile Won't you smile a while for me
If you feel like leaving you know you can go But why don't you stay until tomorrow? And if you want to be free, all you have to do is say so When you feel cold, I'll warm you And when you feel you can't go on, I'll come and hold you It's you... And me forever

Sarà Perché Ti Amo (French Version: Les Nouveaux Romantiques - 1981) Composer(s): Dario Farina; Daniele Pace; Pupo First release by: Ricchi E Poveri - 1981
Che confusione sarà perché ti amo e un'emozione che cresce piano piano stringimi forte e stammi più vicino se ci sto bene sarà perché ti amo
Io canto al ritmo del dolce tuo respiro e primavera sarà perché ti amo Cade una stella ma dimmi dove siamo che te ne frega sarà perché ti amo
E vola vola si sa sempre più in alto si va e vola vola con me il mondo e matto perché e se l'amore non c'è basta una sola canzone per far confusione fuori e dentro di te E vola vola si va sempre più in alto si va ...
Ma dopo tutto che cosa c'e di strano e una canzone sarà perché ti amo se cade il mondo allora ci spostiamo se cade il mondo sarà perché ti amo Stringimi forte e stammi più vicino e cosi bello che non mi casa c'e di strano matto per matto almeno noi ci amiamo
E vola vola si sa sempre più in alto si va ...
E vola vola si va sarà perché ti amo e vola vola con me e stammi più vicino e se l'amore non c'e ma dimmi dove siamo che confusione sarà perché ti amo

Merry Christmas Everybody
Composer(s): Noddy Holder; Jimmy Lea
Performer(s): Slade
and multiple other artists
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Ah ah
Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been slayed
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line Move on, it's no good to go back in time
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Danger in the game when the stakes are high Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by
I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
('Cos Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before (And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more (And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore
I'll never find another girl like you We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, no Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart...

Wait a minute baby... Stay with me awhile Said you'd give me light But you never told be about the fire
Drowning in the sea of love Where everyone would love to drown And now it's gone It doesn't matter anymore When you build your house Call me home
And he was just like a great dark wing Within the wings of a storm I think I had met my match, he was singing And undoing the laces Undoing the laces
Drowning in the sea of love Where everyone would love to drown And now it's gone It doesn't matter anymore When you build your house Call me home
Hold on The night is coming and the starling flew for days I'd stay home at night all the time I'd go anywhere, anywhere Ask me and I'm there because I care
Sara, you're the poet in my heart Never change, never stop And now it's gone It doesn't matter what for When you build your house I'll come by
Drowning in the sea of love Where everyone would love to drown And now it's gone It doesn't matter anymore When you build your house Call me home
All I ever wanted Was to know that you were dreaming (There's a heartbeat And it never really died)

Mère Noël
Composer(s): Pierre Perret
Performer(s): Pierre Perret
Quand j'écris ma p'tite bafouille
À ce bon vieux Père Noël
Je sais pas comment qu'y s'débrouille
Il est miro le paternel
Me refiler une panoplie de flic
Au lieu d'un traité d'éducation sexuelle
Ma parole y se prend les pieds dans l'arc-en-ciel
Je trouve ces procédés moches
Je ne vous le cache pas
Remettez-le dans votre sacoche
Votre képi j'en veux pas
Mais comme je m'entends mieux avec les femmes
J'ai décidé désormais
De m'adresser à la votre qu'on voit jamais
Mère Noël Mère Noël ou êtes-vous
Mère Noël Mère Noël montrez-vous
Avez-vous une mini-jupe êtes-vous un peu sexy
Est-ce que le Père Noël vous sort dans les boîtes de nuit
Mère Noël au lieu d'un flingue
Il vaudrait mieux du bon grain
Qui réchaufferait tant le burlingue
De nos copains les Indiens
De l'eau pure à la Garonne
Dans le veau un peu moins d'hormones
Ma voisine aurait moins de moustaches que son bonhomme
Mère Noël y a des drôles de types
Surveillez leurs jouets
Qu'ils aillent dans la lune en jeep
Et qu'ils nous foutent la paix
Mais tous leurs trucs nucléaires
Quand ça va nous péter dans le blair
On entendra plus jamais Erroll Garner
Mère Noël Mère Noël ou êtes-vous
Mère Noël Mère Noël montrez-vous
Etes-vous un peu infidèle
Et avez-vous le rouge aux joues
Quand un archange du ciel
Vous prend par le cou
Mère Noël Je suis bien petit
Mais déjà je comprends
Que la vérité travestie
Est un cadeau pour les grands
Moi je voudrais qu'un stylo
Pour vous faire un très beau dessin
Il ira pas au Prado
Mais ça ne fait rien
Je vous dessinerais un mariage
Quelque chose de bien
Un noir avec une blanche
Ça fera peur aux voisins
Et tous les oiseaux du monde
Leur chanteront cette chanson
Qu'en Alabama les cloches reprendront
Mère Noël Mère Noël ou êtes-vous
Mère Noël Mère Noël montrez-vous
Ressemblez-vous à la Joconde
Qui a l'air de nous dire des clous
Mais sans doute avez-vous raison de sourire de tout
Sapho Performer(s): David Alexandre Winter & Seda Aznavour
Sapho tu mords dans l'existence A pleines dents, A plein coeur jusqu'au sang Sapho, tu brûles et te dépenses Au gré de l'heure Au gré du temps Tu es plus folle que le vent
Sapho, tu cours après la vie Comme si tout Devait crouler ce soir Sapho, tu joues La comédie Pour aveugler ton désespoir
Ouvre les yeux, ouvre ton âme Je veux t'aimer à corps perdu Sapho, ô Sapho! Laisse tes rêves prendre flamme Au feu léger de l'inconnu Qui fera de toi une femme Sapho
Sapho, la vie est sans mystère Tu joues tes rêves et gaspille tes joies Sapho, tu poursuis des chimères Reviens sur terre et aime-moi
Ouvre les yeux, ouvre ton âme Je veux t'aimer à corps perdu Sapho, ô Sapho! Laisse tes rêves prendre flamme Au feu léger de l'inconnu Qui fera de toi une femme Sapho
Sapho, à ta désespérance J'offre mes joies Te tends les bras Sapho viens contre moi Sapho on s'aimera Sapho

Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve Your sweet kiss is the first gift I'd like to receive The presents that we bought will have to wait beneath the tree Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve
There's frost on all the windows, candles burnin' bright Stockings on the mantle, everythings just right Soon the house will come alive with family and friends I'd love some time alone with you, before it all begins
Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve Your sweet kiss is the first gift I'd like to receive The presents that we bought will have to wait beneath the tree Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve
It seems I've hardly seen you, we've had so much to do With the holiday approaching, I've sure been missin' you I can't wait 'til Christmas Morn, to hold you in my arms I feel just like a kid again, waitin' on Santa Claus
Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve Your sweet kiss is the first gift I'd like to receive The presents that we bought will have to wait beneath the tree Meet me under the mistletoe, midnight Christmas Eve
