La femme qui est dans mon lit
N'a plus vingt ans depuis longtemps
Les yeux cernés
Par les années
Par les amours
Au jour le jour
La bouche usée
Par les baisers
Trop souvent mais
Trop mal donnés
Le teint blafard
Malgré le fard
Plus pâle qu'une
Tache de lune

La femme qui est dans mon lit
N'a plus vingt ans depuis longtemps
Les seins trop lourds
De trop d'amours
Ne portent pas
Le nom d'appâts
Le corps lassé
Trop caressé
Trop souvent mais
Trop mal aimé
Le dos voûté
Semble porter
Les souvenirs
Qu'elle a dû fuir

La femme qui est dans mon lit
N'a plus vingt ans depuis longtemps
Ne riez pas
N'y touchez pas
Gardez vos larmes
Et vos sarcasmes
Lorsque la nuit
Nous réunit
Son corps, ses mains
S'offrent aux miens
Et c'est son cœur
Couvert de pleurs
Et de blessures
Qui me rassure

Merry Christmas Strait To You
Composer(s): Bob Kelly
Performer(s): George Strait



It's Christmas time
I see the lines of people everywhere
Tryin' to pick out the gifts
That show how much they care
It makes me wish that I could see my friends
On Christmas Day
And fill my list with lots of gifts
But I can only say

Here comes a merry Christmas strait to you
I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feelin' blue
Right or wrong I'll sing my song
And you will know just who
Sings a merry Christmas strait to you

There's lot of ways to share the days
Of Christmas with your friends
A Christmas card, a tree that stars
And gifts that make you grin
I'd like to share this song with everyone who came our way
Without a doubt the fires not out
It burns for you today

Here comes a merry Chritmas strait to you
I hope it cheers you up when you are down and feelin' blue
Right or wrong I'll sing my song
And you will know just who
Sings a merry Christmas strait to you

Here comes a merry Christmas and to all who might of missed us
A very merry Christmas strait to you

Dans la boutique du tailleur
Tes vieux parents, tes frères, tes sœurs
Nous avons tant de peine au cœur
Sarah, Sarah reviens vers nous
Mamie ne cesse de pleurer
Sa grande enfant, son adorée
Tu fus toujours sa préférée
Sarah, Sarah reviens vers nous

De quoi avais-tu donc besoin
Chez nous tu ne manquais de rien
Pourquoi es-tu partie si loin?
Ici quel vide tout à coup
Papy commence à être vieux
Il a déjà des mauvais yeux
Te sachant là il irait mieux
Sarah, Sarah reviens vers nous

Dans la boutique du tailleur
Tes vieux parents, tes frères, tes sœurs
Retrouveront l'ancien bonheur
Sarah, Sarah si tu reviens
Quand attablés les soirs d'hiver
Lorsqu'un à un Mamie nous sert
Nous sentons qu'il manque un couvert
Sarah, Sarah que c'est le tien

On lit tes lettres d'Amérique
T'as fait un parti magnifique
Alors tes sentiments s'expliquent
Tu veux oublier d'où tu viens
Hélène aura bientôt vingt ans
Elle s'en ira peut-être avant
On ne vit pas pour ses parents
Sarah, Sarah je le sais bien

Sois donc heureuse et sans regret
Mais ne nous oublie tout à fait
Tu as la vie dont tu rêvais
Sarah, Sarah tant pis pour nous

Santa goes around making Christmas
For little boys and girls everywhere
You can feel him in your heart
When it's late at night
And Christmas eve is here
But Santa While you're out there
All alone in your sleigh
I hope that you can hear me
Tonight when I say
Merry Christmas Santa
Here's my Christmas wish for you
I just want to thank you
For everything you do
And while you're out there giving
It's time that you receive
So Merry Christmas Santa
Merry Christmas to you from me
Santa is the one that you write to
To tell him what you want Christmas day
What a thrill it is to know
That the season's here
And Santa's on his way
But Santa while you're making
Christmas wishes all come true
I felt that you might like it
If someone said to you
Merry Christmas Santa
Here's my Christmas wish for you
I just want to thank you
For everything you do
And while you're out there giving
It's time that you receive
So Merry Christmas Santa
Merry Christmas to you from me

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 

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

Merry Christmas From The Family

Performer(s): Robert Earl Keen;
and various other artists



Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk
At our Christmas party
We were drinkin' champagne punch
And homemade eggnog
Little sister brought her new boyfriend
He was a Mexican
We didn't know what to think of him
Til he sang Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad

Brother Ken brought his kids with him
The three from his first wife Lynn
And the two identical twins
From his second wife MaryNell
Of course he brought his new wife Kaye
Who talks all about AA
Chain smokin' while the stereo plays
Noel, Noel, The first Noel

Carve the turkey turn the ball game on
Mix Margaritas when the eggnog's gone
Send somebody to the Quik-Pak store
We need some ice and an extention cord
A can of bean dip and some Diet Rite
A box of tampons and some Marlboro Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Fran and Rita drove from Harlingen
I can't remember how I'm kin to them
But when they tried to plug their motorhome in
They blew our christmas lights
Cousin David knew just what went wrong
So we all waited on our front lawn
He threw the breaker and the lights came on
And we sang Silent Night
Oh Silent Night

Carve the turkey turn the ballgame on
Make Bloody Marys cause we all want one
Send somebody to the Stop 'n Go
We need some celery and a can of fake snow
A bag of lemons and some Diet Sprite
A box of tampons and some Salem Lights
Hallelujah everybody say cheese
Merry Christmas from the family

Feliz Navidad

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

Sara Smile
Won't you smile a while for me

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

Il a l'émotion de notre génération
Il a des chansons et le courage de Danton
Pour lui je peux faire l'Atlantique en solitaire
Sa vie est la mienne et c'est pour ça que je l'aime
On est en romance cœur contre cœur bien branché
On est en fréquence sur la ligne de nos idées
On est en instance de vouloir tout partager
Aucun théorème et c'est pour ça que l'on s'aime
On s'écrit téléphonique
Nous les nouveaux romantiques
Actuel et nostalgique
Etonnamment romantique
Dans les boites à musique
Les Roméos s'abandonnent
C'est triste Vérone
J'aime l'amour que tu me donnes
Boul'vard périphérique
Sur nos motos héroïques
Symphonie mécanique
Nous les nouveaux romantiques
C'est un look un physique
Que Roméo me pardonne
C'est fini Vérone laisse tomber y a plus personne

La dolce vita c'est se retrouver chez nous
La romantica c'est avec toi jusqu'au bout
La passionnatta c'est les aveux les plus doux
Aucun théorème et c'est pour ça que l'on s'aime

On s'écrit téléphonique

Merry Christmas Everybody

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...

Por un resto de amor
abrió su puerta un día
y echó a volar echó a volar...
Por un resto de amor
el mundoo parecía
estar en su momento

Sé que estoy a tiempo, dijo
podré aprender podré cambiar
Por un cuarto de amor
se encerró en su vida esclava
y la birsa se hizo viento

Sara Sara
Si te vieras Sara
Un poema que olía a azahar
Mi sirena se pierde an el mar

Cambió su suerte
por el oro de su corazón
Quemo su sueño
por lo que ella creía mejor

Por un resto de amor
vendió su alma un día
quiso crecer y ser mujer
Por un loco de amor
te oí que prometías
probar el firmamento

Si no fuese tarde, sabes
podría parar podría cortar
Por un resto de amor
serías capaz, verías
de acabar con el cuento

Christmas time is here, it's a jolly good time of the year
People somehow know, with the Christmas spirit they show
Sleigh bells in the snow, everywhere you go
People having fun, 'cause it's a merry time of the year
A jolly good time of the year

'Cause we're all just like children
With our own Christmas tree
Singing yuletide carols, now that's Christmas to me
Another year gone by, New Year's almost here
Merry Christmas all, and a happy, happy New Year
A jolly good time of year

Sleigh bells in the snow, everywhere you go
People having fun, 'cause it's a merry time of the year
A jolly good time of the year

We're all just like children, come that one special day
Giving gifts just like children, ain't that the Christmas way
Another year gone by, New Year's almost here
Merry Christmas all, have a happy, happy New Year
A jolly good time of year
It's the only time of the year

Happy, jolly, yummy time of the year

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)

Peace on earth and goodwill to all men
Mery Christmas, oh once again

Bells are ringing, over land and sea

Sara, svegliati è primavera
Sara, sono le sette e tu devi andare a scuola
Sara, prendi tutti i libri e accendi il motorino
e poi attenta, ricordati che aspetti un bambino
Sara, se avessi i soldi ti porterei ogni giorno al mare
Sara, se avessi tempo ti porterei ogni giorno a far l'amore
ma Sara, mi devo laureare, e forse un giorno ti sposerò
magari in chiesa, dove tua madre sta aspettando per poter piangere un po'
Sara, tu va dritta non ti devi vergognare
le tue amiche dai retta a me lasciale tutte parlare
Sara, è stato solo amore, se nel banco no c'entri più
tu sei bella, anche sei vestiti non ti stanno più
Sara, mentre dormivi l'ho sentito respirare
Sara, mentre dormivi ti batteva forte il cuore
Sara, tu non sei più sola, il tuo amore gli basterà
il tuo bambino, se ci credi nascerà
Sara, Sara, Sara ....

Mère Noël
Composer(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
