Sèche Vite Tes Larmes (German Version: Liebeskummer Lohnt Sich Nicht) Composer(s): G. Loose; James Last; H. Ithier) Performer(s): Dalida
Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes Tu n'as pas raison de tant pleurer Sèche vite tes larmes à travers tes larmes Un nouveau soleil vient se montrer
Puisqu'il t'a menti Laisse-le partir Ce garçon était volage Tu es si jolie Il te faut guérir L'amour a d'autres visages
Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes Tu n'as pas raison de tant pleurer Au fond de son âme la plus faible femme A toujours espoir de mieux aimer
Il n'est pas le seul Et d'autres garçons Tu le sais voudraient te plaire Ouvre ta fenêtre Le printemps est là Et pour toi le ciel s'éclaire
Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes Tu n'as pas raison de tant pleurer Sèche vite tes larmes derrière tes larmes Un nouveau soleil vient de briller
Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes Ton chagrin n'est plus qu'un souvenir Sèche vite tes larmes, sèche vite tes larmes Ton nouveau bonheur C'est de sourire
Liebeskummer Lohnt Sich Nicht (French Version: Sèche Vite Tes Larmes) Composer(s): Christian Bruhn; Georg Buschor Performer(s): Siw Malmkvist and multiple other artists
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling schade um die Traenen in der Nacht Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling weil schon Morgen dein Herz darueber lacht
Im Hof da spielte sie mit Joe von vis a vis doch dann zog er in eine andere Stadt Wie hat sie da geweint um ihren besten Freund da gab ihr die Mama den guten Rat
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling schade um die Traenen in der Nacht Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling weil schon Morgen dein Herz darueber lacht
Mit achtzehn traf sie Jim, sie traemte nur von ihm zum ersten Mal verliebt, das war so schoen Doch Jim der war nicht Treu und alles war vorbei da konnte sie es lange nicht verstehn
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling schade um die Traenen in der Nacht Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling weil schon Morgen dein Herz darueber lacht
Bis dann der eine kam, der in den Arm sie nahm nun gehen sie durch ein Leben voller Glueck Und gibt's von Zeit zu Zeit mal einen kleinen Streit dann denkt sie an das alte Lied zurueck
Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling schade um die Traenen in der Nacht Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht, my darling weil schon Morgen dein Herz darueber lacht
The Bell That Couldn't Jingle Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Larry Kusik Performer(s): Burt Bacharach; and various other artists
Then Santa said Jack Frost will bring my Christmas gift to you and on Christmas Eve you'll jingle just like you were brand new A Christmas bell was cryin' and Santa heard it say I just can't seem to jingle and I can't go on the sleigh Then Santa soon discovered the reason that it cried The bell that couldn't jingle It had nothin' there inside
Then Santa said Jack Frost will bring my Christmas gift to you and on Christmas Eve you'll jingle just like you were brand new Then Jack Frost froze a teardrop so each time that it swayed The bell that couldn't jingle it went jingling all the way
The bell that couldn't jingle it went jingling all the way

Seca D'água Composer(s): Patativa do Assaré Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
É triste para o Nordeste o que a natureza fez Mandou cinco anos de seca e uma chuva em cada mês E agora em 85 mandou tudo de uma vez A sorte do nordestino é mesmo de fazer dó Seca sem chuva é ruim Mas seca dágua é pior Quando chove brandamente depressa nasce um capim Dá milho, arroz e feijão, mandioca e amendoim Mas com em 85 até o sapo achou ruim Maranhão e Piauí estão sofrendo por lá Mas o maior sofrimento é nessas bandas de cá Pernambuco, Rio Grande, Paraíba e Ceará A sorte do nordestino é mesmo de fazer dó Seca sem chuva é ruim Mas seca dágua é pior O Jaguaribe inundou a cidade de Iguatu E Sobral foi alagada pelo Rio Acaraú O mesmo estrago fizeram Salgado e Banabuiu Ceará martirizado, eu tenho pena de ti Limoeiro, Itaíçaba, Quixeré e Aracati Faz pena ver o lamento dos flagelados dali Seus doutores governantes da nossa grande nação O flagelo das enchentes é de cortar coração Muitas famílias vivendo sem lar, sem roupa, sem pão
A sorte do nordestino é mesmo de fazer dó Seca sem chuva é ruim Mas seca dágua é pior
The Ballad Of The Christmas Donkey Performer(s): Ed Ames
Long ago, in another day A donkey cried in his donkey way I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful What good to anyone am I
Other animals are big and strong Or rare or filled with an animal song But I'm not beautiful, I'm not beautiful What good to anyone am I
Heaven cried...donkey you can carry Will you carry Mary...angels for your guide
On Christmas morn', in the stable hay The donkey smiled in his donkey way I feel beautiful, I feel beautiful As beautiful as anyone am I.... As..beautiful..as..anyone...am......I
Sébastien Composer(s): Eddy Marnay; André Popp Performer(s): Marie Laforêt
La fête qu'on fera Quand Sébastien viendra Avec son grand chapeau Avec sa belle auto Dessous son toit ouvrant Comme un vrai président Avec son grand cigare Avec tous ses dollars La belle fête qu'il aura En rentrant du Vézuénéla
On dit qu'il a fait là-bas Sa fortune dans les tabacs Après avoir dirigé Trois ou quatre cabarets La belle fête qu'on arrangera Quand il reviendra du Vézuénéla Pour Sébastien pour Sébastien Pour Sébastien pour Sébastien
Chez nous il n'était bon Qu'à garder les moutons Avec son gros manteau Avec son vieux pipeau En somme c'est grâce à moi S'il est parti là-bas Avec ses gros sabots Avec son sac au dos
Sébastien voulait m'épouser Et moi je lui ai ri au nez Si c'était pareil aujourd'hui Je crois que je dirais oui Pourvu bien sûr qu'il n'est ni : Trop grossi ni trop vieilli Mais faudrait pas Qu'avec tout son argent Il soit dev'nu trop intelligent Cher Sébastien Vieux Sébastien Grand Sébastien Beau Sébastien
When I was young I had dream Movin' to the city, sight unseen Nineteen years of age I packed up my bags Hollywood was all the rage I came to you in 1984 You showed me in, then you shut the door It didn't take me long to learn to play the game A kick in the head always feel the same
Los Angeles, you're a fucking whore Hollywood, you're an open sore I played it well, and I played it fast Livin' slow was in the past Chicks and drugs and gettin' burnt Just a few of the things I learnt Got sick and tired of being scared as hell A wasted man, just a shell of myself But that was then, and this is now My pretty baby, I've changed somehow
Los Angeles, you've lost your grip Drugs and lies and whores suckin' dick
I don't know if I could do things differently LA had me for so long When I look I can see things differently What does't kill me makes me strong Los Angeles, I didn't sell my soul to you Los Angeles, you thought you would kill me You thought you could take me down Fuck that, power to me
Sometimes it goes like this Sometimes it's the only way, to learn it A kick in the head

The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle . . . in Seattle

When you find your own true love, you will know it By her smile, by the look in her eye Scent of pine trees in the air, never knew a day so fair It makes you feel so proud that you could cry
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle . . . in Seattle

Seasons Of Wither Composer(s): Steven Tyler First release by: Aerosmith - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
Blues hearted lady sleepy was she Love for the devil brought her to me Sea's of a thousand drawn to her sin Seasons of Wither holdin' me in
Ooh woe is me I feel so badly for you Ooh woe is me I feel so sadly for you In time bound to lose your mind Live on borrowed time Take the wind right out of your sail
Fireflies dance in the heat of Hound dogs that bay at the moon My ship leaves in the midnight Can't say I'll be back too soon
They awaken far far away Heat of my candle show me the way Sea's of a thousand drawn to her sin Seasons of Wither holdin' me in
Ooh woe is me I feel so badly for you Ooh woe is me I feel so sadly for you In time bound to lose your mind Live on borrowed time Take the wind right out of your sail
The Angels Cried
Composer(s): Harley Allen; Debbie Nims
Performer(s): Alan Jackson & Alison Krauss; Albert & Gage; Bonnie Wixom
They came from near, they came from far Following a distant star to where He lay Not being sure of what it meant But knowing it was Heaven sent They made their way And the creatures gathered 'round And didn't make a sound And the angels cried
The angels knew what was to come The reason God had sent His son from up above It filled their hearts with joy to see And knowing of His destiny Came tears of love And the creatures gathered 'round And didn't make a sound And the angels cried
I've often thought about that night And wondered if they realised that star so bright Was sent to tell all the land The Son of God would soon become The Son of Man And the creatures gathered 'round And didn't make a sound And the angels cried
Seasons Of The Heart Composer(s): John Denver Performer(s): John Denver; Ryan & Aimee Engelbrecht; Red Hurley
Of course we have our differences You shouldnt be surprised Its as natural as changes In the seasons and the skies Sometimes we grow together Sometimes we drift apart A wiser man than I might know The seasons of the heart
And Im walking here beside you In the early evening chill A thing weve always loved to do I know we always will We have so much in common So many things we share That I cant believe my heart When it implies that youre not there
Love is why I came here in the first place Love is now the reason I must go Love is all I ever hoped to find here Love is still the only dream I know
So I dont know how to tell you Its difficult to say I never in my wildest dreams Imagined it this way But sometimes I just dont know you Theres a stranger in our home When Im lying right beside you Is when Im most alone
And I think my heart is broken Theres an emptiness inside So many things Ive longed for Have so often been denied Still I wouldnt try to change you Theres no one thats to blame Its just some things that mean so much And we just dont feel the same
Love is why I came here in the first place Love is now the reason I must go Love is all I ever hoped to find here Love is still the only dream I know True love is still the only dream I know

Goodbye Emil, my trusted friend We've known each other since we were nine or ten Together we climbed hills and trees Learned of love and ABC's Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye Emil, it's hard to die When all the bird's are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Pretty girls are everywhere I wish we could both be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the hills we could climb were just seasons out of time
Goodbye Papa, please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to show me right from wrong But too much wine and too much song Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa, it's hard to die When all the bird's are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Little kids are everywhere Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Francoise, my trusted wife Without you I'd had a lonely life You cheated lots of times with them But I forgave you in the end Though your lover was my friend
Goodbye Francoise, it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air With your lovers everywhere Just be careful, I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach
Goodbye Michelle, my little one You gave me joy and helped me find the sun And every time when I was down You would always come around And get my feet back on the ground

Let's put on that old movie "It's A Wonderful Life" 'Cause curled up by the fire It sure rings true tonight Let's make a little heaven Then a little later on We'll make a little Love To that old Bing Crosby song, baby
You're the angel at the top of my tree Best present anybody ever gave to me I got it decorated, all lit up, gifts underneath But you're the angel at the top of my tree
You're the angel at the top of my tree Best present anybody ever gave to me I got it decorated, all lit up, gifts underneath You're the angel at the top of my tree
